Tottenham set Xavi Simons asking price!

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly considering a potential summer reshuffle that could see midfielder and Chelsea target Xavi Simons made available for around €27 million, according to Spanish outlet Fichajes, as the club weighs up wage savings and the risk of further depreciation following the player’s injury setback.

The report claims that Tottenham Hotspur are actively evaluating whether to sanction a cut-price departure for the Dutch international in order to ease salary commitments and protect the asset’s market value. Simons, who only arrived at Spurs in a high-profile move, has struggled for continuity due to fitness issues, with his recent injury significantly impacting his availability and immediate sporting contribution.

Simons, a highly rated attacking midfielder who has previously been linked with several top European sides including Chelsea, was seen as one of Tottenham’s key creative additions when he joined the club. However, his time in north London has so far been disrupted, limiting his ability to establish himself as a regular starter in Ange Postecoglou’s system.

According to Fichajes, club officials are increasingly concerned that prolonged absence could further reduce the midfielder’s valuation, prompting discussions over whether a timely sale would be the most financially prudent option.

The proposed €27 million figure would represent a notable loss compared to his initial transfer valuation, but could be viewed internally as a calculated decision to prevent a steeper decline in the future.

The situation is further complicated by reported interest from CHELSEA who have long monitored Simons’ development. The west London club were previously linked with the player during his time in the Bundesliga and remain among the sides believed to be tracking his situation closely. Any availability at a reduced fee could potentially reignite competition for his signature in the upcoming transfer window.

Simons’ injury has been a central factor in Tottenham’s internal discussions. While the club has not publicly disclosed the full extent or timeline of his recovery, the uncertainty surrounding his return to peak condition has contributed to growing caution among decision-makers. Squad planning for next season is already underway, and Spurs are understood to be prioritising flexibility in both wages and squad structure.

Despite the speculation, there has been no official confirmation from Tottenham regarding any intention to sell Simons, and the situation remains fluid. The player is still viewed by some within the club as a long-term asset, given his age, technical ability and versatility across attacking midfield roles.

However, with the summer transfer window approaching, reports such as those from Fichajes suggest that Tottenham may soon be forced to make a decisive call: retain a talented but injury-disrupted prospect, or capitalise on remaining market interest before his value potentially declines further.
