The Blues are now targeting two exciting young talents, Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United and Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig. Both players are seen as key pieces for Maresca\u2019s high-energy, attacking style of play.<\/p>\n<p>Reports suggest that both Garnacho and Simons have already given their approval to join Chelsea\u2019s project, with personal terms not expected to be an issue. The next step is for Chelsea to reach agreements with their respective clubs. Manchester United are said to value Garnacho highly, while Leipzig are holding firm on a significant price tag for Simons, who is attracting interest from several top European sides.<\/p>\n<p>Maresca is eager to bring in players who can add creativity and dynamism to his team, and the duo fits that profile perfectly. Garnacho\u2019s pace and flair on the wings combined with Simons\u2019 versatility and playmaking ability would provide Chelsea with a major boost in attack.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chelsea are not stopping even this summer as their transfer talks are continuing at a high rate. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":202,"featured_media":33456,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[3469,312,3686,3918,3815,1823,3796,3997,249,411,3991,3703],"class_list":["post-15824","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-football","tag-alejandro-garnacho","tag-chelsea","tag-david-ornstein","tag-english-premier-league","tag-enzo-maresca","tag-fabrizio-romano","tag-football","tag-football-transfers-latest","tag-manchester-united","tag-rb-leipzig","tag-summer-transfer-window","tag-xavi-simons"],"reading_time":"1 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15824","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/202"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15824"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15824\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33456"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15824"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15824"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15824"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
