Liverpool’s new manager, Arne Slot, is expected to have a busy summer transfer window as he aims to strengthen the squad for the upcoming season.
Following their recent Premier League triumph, the club is focused on reinforcing key areas to sustain their success. Finding a new right-back is a major priority amid reports that Trent Alexander-Arnold could be on his way to Real Madrid. Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong is currently seen as the leading candidate to fill that role.
Liverpool are also on the lookout for a new left-back, with Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez drawing interest. Additionally, the club is eyeing an attacking midfielder, with RB Leipzig’s Xavi Simons emerging as a top target.
Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Simons has decided to leave Leipzig this summer, giving Liverpool a potential boost in their pursuit of the Dutch playmaker. Romano posted on X:
“Xavi Simons has made his decision — he will depart RB Leipzig this summer. The plan remains unchanged: he’s ready for a new challenge. Premier League sides and Bayern Munich are watching closely. Leipzig are fully aware of his choice.”
Simons could inject creativity and goal-scoring prowess into Liverpool’s midfield — an area that has lacked consistent attacking contributions. His playing style aligns well with Slot’s approach, and with Dutch teammates like Van Dijk, Gakpo, and Gravenberch already at Anfield, he could adapt quickly.
Although Bayern Munich are strong contenders, Liverpool’s ambitious direction under Slot may be the key to persuading Simons to make the move to Merseyside
