With French youngster Mohamed Simakan being close from joining RB Leipzig, after he was heavily linked with a move to AC Milan, the Italian transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has delivered the latest updates on the future of the Strasbourg center-back.
"He's really really close to join RB Leipzig. The agreement for Simakan is really really close. He will be the replacement of Upamecano. The final fee will be around 15-20 million euros. They are discussing with Strasbourg for the last details. Keep an eye also on Chelsea, because this news will affect possibly also Chelsea, because Simakan was on the list of AC Milan as a center-back. He was a target on January, but the main one was Tomori. AC Milan signed Tomori from Chelsea with a buy-option. But with Simakan joining RB Leipzig. Now the situation with AC Milan is one name out from the list." declared Romano on theHere We Go podcast.
