Manchester United intensifies its pursuit of 21-year-old attacking midfielder Xavi Simons as financial constraints and strategic hurdles challenge a potential €70m move.
The Dutch midfielder burst onto the scene during Euro 2024, captivating fans with his speed and creativity. He impressed in the Bundesliga while playing for RB Leipzig, quickly establishing himself as a rising star.
Simons began his professional journey at PSV Eindhoven before moving to Paris Saint-Germain in 2023. RB Leipzig then secured his permanent transfer for £67m following a two-year loan spell.
This season, the youngster has appeared in 25 matches, scored eight goals, and provided five assists. His on-field performance continues to attract attention and boost his growing reputation.
Insiders reveal that Manchester United remains determined to meet a €70m price tag if a concrete bid materializes. A bid above €50m will not suffice, and the club must clear significant financial hurdles.
The club faces strict Profitability and Sustainability Rules in the Premier League. United plans to generate the necessary funds through strategic player sales while prioritizing the search for a new striker.
Top clubs like Manchester City and Liverpool actively track the midfielder. Liverpool reportedly ranks him among their top three summer targets, intensifying the race for his signature.
Recent updates signal further transfer buzz. Reports claim United is among three clubs discussing a deal for a 107-goal striker on a free transfer, while Nottingham Forest reportedly disrupts Amorim’s plans by targeting an 83-goal scorer. Other sources indicate United may aim to outbid Manchester City for a high-caliber defender and push for an “unstoppable” goal machine.
