Manchester United have reportedly tabled a substantial offer for RB Leipzig’s Xavi Simons, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.
Simons, who impressed during the 2023-24 season while on loan from PSG, particularly shone in the European Championship as a key player for the Netherlands alongside Cody Gakpo.
His memorable goal against England underscored his potential and skill.
Having initially honed his skills at Barcelona’s renowned La Masia academy before moving to PSG, Simons’ loan stint at Leipzig provided him valuable first-team experience in a competitive environment, enhancing his burgeoning reputation.
Known for his versatility in both attacking midfield and winger roles, Simons has emerged as one of Europe’s most promising young talents.
Meanwhile, Dani Olmo is another player attracting attention.
His crucial contributions, including three goals and two assists in Spain’s European Championship run, have made him highly sought-after.
With an eye-catching release clause of €60 million, Olmo has signaled his readiness to move, stating, “Whoever wants me knows what they have to do,” with the clause needing to be met in full by 20 July.
United’s pursuit of both Simons and Olmo reflects their ambition to bolster their squad with top-tier talent, aiming to strengthen their midfield and attack with added creativity, pace, and technical ability.
Competition for the duo is fierce, with Arsenal and Manchester City also reportedly in the mix, particularly for Olmo, adding further intrigue to their potential transfers.
