Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Liverpool are seriously interested in signing Xavi Simons this summer, calling a move to the Premier League the “most concrete possibility” for the Dutch midfielder.
Simons, currently at RB Leipzig on loan from Paris Saint-Germain, is expected to be available for around €70–75 million (£58–63 million). Leipzig are reportedly open to parting ways with the 21-year-old in order to avoid future add-ons and secure a profit.
Simons a Versatile Fit for Liverpool’s Future
Simons is one of Europe’s most promising young talents, capable of playing as:
- An attacking midfielder
- A winger
- A deep-lying playmaker
His versatility and creative skill set make him an ideal candidate for Arne Slot’s tactical system, especially with the club likely undergoing major changes this summer. Players like Luis Díaz, Darwin Núñez, and even Trent Alexander-Arnold are facing uncertain futures at Anfield, prompting the club to prepare for a significant rebuild.
Multiple Clubs in the Race
Romano also listed Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United as other clubs that are actively monitoring Simons’ situation and have been in contact with his camp.
Potential Anfield Outgoings
- Jarell Quansah could be on his way out, with Newcastle United reportedly interested in signing the young defender.
- Trent Alexander-Arnold’s departure remains a possibility, further emphasizing the need for squad reinforcement.
