The premier league joins Manchester United as the club reportedly interested in buying RB Leipzig attacker Xavi Simons during this summer transfer period.
As reported by Fichajes Manchester United determines Simons to be essential for the squad rebuilding process under manager Ruben Amorim while he leads the team after Erik ten Hag’s departure in November.
The transfer window proved to be disappointing for United fans because only two new players joined the team right before an injury emergency drained their player numbers.
The team suffered a 1-0 defeat against Tottenham while playing with one of the least experienced substitute benches in modern history after dozens of senior players missed the match due to injuries.
The intense team difficulties have made United believe it is vital to build up their athletic team for the coming season.
Financially transferred from PSG to RB Leipzig in January following his successful loan period Simons has become a standout Bundesliga young star.
Mattinson the pundit recognizes the Dutch star at Leipzig for his “superstar potential” while praising his club impact. The 20 matches Xavi Simons played across all competitions have brought him six goals along with five assists.
A long period of injury recovery from an ankle problem followed by his return to playing has led Simons to score in six of his last seven Bundesliga matches.
Manchester City and Liverpool have shown additional attention to this flexible forward despite his recent contract extension which now binds him to Leipzig until June 2027.
The present terms of Simons’ contract hold potential transfer interests because he recently signed for two-and-a-half-years with Leipzig but can now be sold for an approximate €70 million (£58 million) buyout.
