Chelsea has their eye on a £60m target who missed training and posted on social media about a potential move.

Enzo Maresca is currently keeping an eye out for potential new signings to add to Chelsea's already impressive roster. One player on their radar is Xavi Simons, who is hoping to secure a move to the London club after missing training with his current team, RB Leipzig. Simons made his intentions clear on social media, sending a message that he is determined to make the move happen.

Simons, at just 22 years old, has already had a dynamic career, starting in the youth set-up at Barcelona before moving to PSG. He then had a successful stint with PSV before landing in Germany with Leipzig. Premier League teams, including Arsenal and Manchester United, have been eyeing him for some time, but it seems Chelsea is now the front-runner. However, Leipzig is asking for a hefty sum of £60m for the Dutch star.

According to reports, Chelsea and Leipzig are in talks and are close to reaching an agreement. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has also confirmed that Simons did not train with his team on Friday as he continues to push for the move. He has also removed any mention of Leipzig from his social media, indicating that he is ready to move on.

Simons may soon be the latest addition at Stamford Bridge, joining other recent signings like Joao Pedro, Jamie Gittens, Liam Delap, and Estevao. However, Chelsea may need to sell some players before they can make the deal happen. They have already spent over £200m this summer, and it's reported that they need to offload more players, like Noni Madueke, Joao Felix, Djorde Petrovic, and Kepa Arrizabalaga.

One player who seems to be on his way out is Armando Broja, who had a tough time on loan at Everton last season. He is set to join newly-promoted Burnley in a deal worth £20m. Fellow striker Marc Guiu is also expected to leave Stamford Bridge, but only on a season-long loan to Sunderland. Other players, like Raheem Sterling and Christopher Nkunku, may also be on their way out as they are not in manager Enzo Maresca's plans. The arrival of Pedro and Delap has also put Nicolas Jackson's future in question as he has dropped down the pecking order.
