Xavi Simons Reacts with “MiBoy ❤️” as Jorrel Hato Joins Chelsea

Xavi Simons has publicly reacted to Jorrel Hato’s move to Chelsea, expressing his support for his fellow Dutch international. Chelsea confirmed the signing of the 18-year-old centre-back from Ajax in a deal worth around £37–38 million.

Hato signed a seven-year contract with the Premier League side, keeping him at Stamford Bridge until 2032.

Shortly after the club announced the deal on Instagram, Simons, currently playing for RB Leipzig and also linked with a move to Chelsea, left a heartfelt comment under the post: “MiBoy ❤️.” The message, a casual expression of affection and support, quickly caught fans’ attention, especially amid speculation that Simons could be the next Dutch player to join Chelsea.

Simons and Hato have shared the pitch three times for the Netherlands national team, recording one win, one draw, and one loss. Their connection appears to extend beyond the international stage, with Simons’s comment reflecting a bond that could soon be rekindled at club level.

Fans on social media platforms, including Reddit, highlighted Simons's comment, fuelling further excitement over the possibility of a Dutch reunion at Stamford Bridge. Meanwhile, Chelsea are reportedly in advanced discussions to bring Simons to the club, having agreed personal terms. Negotiations with RB Leipzig continue, with some reports suggesting a potential swap deal involving Christopher Nkunku.
