Chelsea transfer market planning, Harto and Simmons become the focus, improving offensive and defensive strength in the new season

Chelsea won two championship trophys last season, so it has been more frequent in the transfer market. The club's senior management also hopes to continue to strengthen the team's lineup, with the goal of hoping to win the Premier League and Champions League trophy in the new season. At present, Chelsea has negotiated with Ajax on the transfer of centre-back Jorell Harto, and at the same time, it has negotiated with RB Leipzig striker Xavi Simmons, hoping to officially announce its joining earlier. Because the Premier League is starting soon, all the six giant teams are accelerating the transfer market.

It is worth mentioning that Chelsea's signings in the past two seasons have been quite effective. Palmer and Enzo have both become absolute core players and are also the only heroes to win the double championship. Therefore, all parties recognize the current vision of the club's senior leaders' signings. After an impressive season in the Eredivisie, 19-year-old Jorell Hato has become one of Europe's most promising young defenders. He made 31 appearances in the Eredivisie this season, showing maturity and stability far beyond his age.

In addition, Harto has excellent physical fitness, good speed and ability to fight, which often gives him the upper hand in one-on-one defense. At the same time, he has a precise judgment on the game situation and a good sense of position. He can often predict the opponent's offensive line in advance and complete steals or blocks.

On the offensive end, Harto also performed well. He has certain passing ability and can launch threatening offensive organizations from the backcourt. The number of assists he contributed this season is the best proof. In Ajax's system, Harto has gradually grown into a key figure in the team's defense line, and his presence has greatly improved the stability and integrity of the team's defense line.

Chelsea is communicating directly with Ajax and Harto's teams. The negotiations have entered the final stage and the players' personal terms have reached an agreement. Although Chelsea's current defense has some strong players, there is still room for improvement in stability and future potential. Harto's arrival not only enhances the team's defensive strength, but also injects young vitality and potential into the team's defense line, which is in line with Chelsea's plan for the long-term construction of the team.

From Ajax's perspective, they have cultivated many excellent young players and have rich experience in player transfers. Although Harto is talented, Ajax also understands that selling players at the right time and obtaining corresponding transfer funds will help the team continue to operate and develop. However, they must also hope to get a reasonable price for Harto's departure. Sky Sports reported that Chelsea is preparing to pay Harto 50 million euros, while Ajax asks for 60 million euros. This price range also reflects Harto's market value as a top young defender.

Meanwhile, Chelsea is discussing personal terms with Xavi Simmons. The 22-year-old Dutch international is open to transfer to Chelsea, and the Blues hope to increase the creativity and offensive talent in the midfield by introducing him. Simmons has comprehensive skills and excellent dribbling skills, and is able to create extremely threatening offensive opportunities in offensive zone three. He has a keen sense of goal and has a good performance in goal-scoring ability. He played in 25 Bundesliga games last season and contributed 10 goals and 6 assists.

Chelsea needs to add new strength in the midfield and frontcourt, so that they can be more diverse and creative on the offensive end. Simmons' joining can enrich the team's offensive methods. He can play a role in multiple positions. Whether it is using speed and dribbling breakthroughs at the winger position or organizing offenses at the midfield position, it can bring new changes to the team.

Leipzig has negotiated with Chelsea, and if an attractive offer can be provided, Leipzig will release people. Simmons, who moved to Leipzig in January this year after two loans totaling one and a half seasons, also attracted the interest of Bayern Munich and Arsenal. However, sources revealed that Bayern is interested in Simmons but prioritizes the introduction of Liverpool winger Louis Dias; at the same time, Arsenal also learned about Simmons when considering potential signing options, but their attention is currently focused on other priorities. In contrast, Chelsea's pursuit of Simmons is more active, which also gives Chelsea a certain advantage in this player battle.

If these two potential transfers in the transfer market can be successfully completed, it will greatly enhance the team's overall strength and add a strong weight to Chelsea's championship in various competitions in the new season.

Relevant data shows that the transfer expenses of the top four teams in the Premier League last season were all among the top, with all players exceeding 100 million and reaching 200 million, which also reflects the intensity of the Champions League championship. Last season, Liverpool, the Premier League, spent 308 million euros, second in the Premier League, Arsenal, 142 million euros. After Moscrat + Yorkress officially announced, the Gunners' transfer amount will exceed 200 million, Manchester City, third in the Premier League, 145 million euros, and Chelsea, fourth in the Premier League, 243 million euros. Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur also spent more than 100 million, and the top six Premier League giants are still very generous.
