Simons, 22, missed the Bundesliga side’s most recent friendly and it is believed that he has played his last game for them.
During talks regarding the Dutchman, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claims that RB Leipzig have enquired about George’s availability.
George, 19, enjoyed a breakout season for the Blues last term, making 26 appearances in all competitions.
Due to Chelsea‘s huge squad, however, the winger is said to see his future away from Stamford Bridge, at least for the 2025-26 season.
The Blues would like to keep George, but a permanent transfer has not been ruled out.
In addition to RB Leipzig, Borussia Monchengladbach are also said to be keen.
Earlier this year, SunSport was given an insight into George’s incredible rise.
Bismark Odoi, father of ex-Chelsea star Callum Hudson-Odoi, told SunSport: “He is a few years younger than my son but he was very noticeable from his early years.

“We all used to take them, but I’m happy that he’s making his parents proud because I tell you it’s a lot of hard work, people only see the results, but the work is massive.
“Tyrique was very close to another guy who was similar in stature to him, called Apau I think, a very good young player during their under-12 days.
“Not everyone makes it, but yeah, he was there. I think he was one of the youngsters who played very well knowing their parents were watching too.”
Chelsea have confirmed the £37million signing of Jorrel Hato from Ajax.
Remarkably, the acquisition took spending on defenders to an astonishing £360million under BlueCo.
