Early this morning, RB Leipzig defeated Bayern 0-6. Club sports director Marcel Schefell was interviewed by Sky Sports after the game and talked about Xavi Simmons.

Schaefer said: "As of now, Xavi Simmons will stay in our team. We always emphasize that all decisions are based on competitive and economic considerations, so Simmons is still our player, which is why he played today."

When asked whether Simmons was sure to play for Leipzig in September, Schaefer responded: "The transfer market has not been closed yet. No one can predict the future, I cannot guarantee it 100%. Everyone knows his ambitions, and he has shown this here."

Regarding whether Chelsea has made a offer that meets Leipzig's requirements, Schaefer revealed: "There has indeed been some exchanges in the past few weeks. But as you can see, Simmons still started today, which means no agreement has been reached. The situation will continue to be the case."

According to Sky Sports, Xavi only wants to transfer to Chelsea to enter the Premier League. If no unexpected happens, Xavi Elliott will take over Simmons' position, provided that the latter transfers to Chelsea in the next week. Leipzig has fully analyzed the 22-year-old Liverpool offensive player and has basically reached an agreement with the players. Elliott himself is open to the transfer.

Fisher said: "We will not start commenting on individual rumors or players. Frankly, it is by no means the right time, because the 0:6 crushing defeat is still heavy."
