Chelsea 'plans for Xavi Simons' revealed as potential move for Man United star Alejandro Garnacho intensifies and summer spend approaches £215m

Chelsea have reportedly decided against lodging a bid for RB Leipzig midfielder Xavi Simons as the Blues have been linked with a move for Alejandro Garnacho.

Simons, 22, is claimed to be pushing for an exit from the Bundesliga club and has reached an agreement over personal terms with Enzo Maresca's side.

However, according to BILD, a bid is yet to arrive for the Dutch international from Stamford Bridge - meaning Chelsea may step up their pursuit of Garnacho instead.

Simons arrived from Champions League winners PSG for £43.
