Kicker reports that RB Leipzig are not backing down from their asking price for Chelsea target Xavi Simons. Leipzig have set the asking price for the 22-year-old at €70m and are not backing down

After missing training in pre-season because of the speculation, Simons returned to the Leipzig team at the weekend to score a goal and create another in a 4–2 victory over Sandhausen in the DFB-Pokal, after which Schäfer fired a message to the teams chasing Simons’s signature.
