Tyrique George is ready to quit Chelsea in search of regular football, with top Bundesliga clubs RB Leipzig and Borussia Mönchengladbach now circling.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the 19-year-old winger has made it clear he wants out of Stamford Bridge after seeing his chances squeezed by a flurry of attacking signings, including Jamie Gittens, Estevao Willian, and a potential move for Alejandro Garnacho.
Chelsea prefer to keep George at the club — but accept his need to play. A loan or permanent exit is now on the table.
Why Tyrique George Wants Out of Chelsea
George broke into Chelsea’s first team last season and impressed in limited minutes. Across 26 appearances, he scored three goals and provided five assists — including standout cameos during the club’s FIFA Club World Cup triumph.

Despite his promise, the stacked competition in Chelsea’s attack has left George facing another season on the fringes — something the teenager is no longer willing to accept.
Could George Be Chelsea’s Bargaining Chip for Xavi Simons?
The timing of RB Leipzig’s interest in George has raised eyebrows. Chelsea are currently trying to finalise a deal for Leipzig star Xavi Simons, with personal terms already agreed.
Sources suggest Leipzig want €70 million (£61.1m) for Simons — and although George won’t be included directly in a swap, Romano confirms Leipzig have asked about him during negotiations.
This opens the door to a parallel transfer, where George’s move could smooth talks between the two clubs.

Analyst Verdict: Should Chelsea Let George Leave?
Chelsea have invested heavily in youth, but not everyone can stay. Tyrique George has proved he belongs at a high level, but another season without regular minutes could stall his development.
If Leipzig offer a clear path to first-team football — and help unlock a Simons deal — a well-structured transfer (with a buy-back clause or sell-on) may suit all parties.
