According to London Football Network, Manchester City expressed interest in Xavi Simmons, but the Leipzig player's first choice is still Chelsea.

Currently, Chelsea is still negotiating with Leipzig for Simmons' transfer, and the player has reached a general agreement with the Blues on personal terms. However, several Manchester City players have been rumored to be leaving the team recently, including attackers Savignho and McCarty, Tottenham and Nottingham Forest are very interested in these two people respectively.

Although Manchester City is concerned about Simmons (reports say Manchester City has joined the Dutch international for the battle), Simmons' first choice is still Chelsea. Meanwhile, Leipzig has made an inquiry on Nkunku's transfer, and the 27-year-old hopes to leave Stamford Bridge this summer. Leipzig intends to re-sign Nkunku and asked the French striker about Simmons' transfer negotiations with Chelsea. It is reported that Nkunku is willing to return to Germany. He left Leipzig more than two years ago to join Chelsea and may return now. In addition, other Premier League teams and many overseas clubs have also shown strong interest in the French player.
