Liverpool Ready £67m Bid for Midfield Upgrade Who Could Be “One of the Best”

Liverpool are preparing to make a significant move in the transfer market as they look to strengthen their midfield options for next season. According to reports, the Reds are readying a £67 million bid for RB Leipzig playmaker Xavi Simons.

The 21-year-old Dutch international has impressed during his time in Germany, contributing 31 goal involvements in 68 appearances across all competitions. His versatility to play multiple attacking positions has caught the eye of Liverpool manager Arne Slot.

While Dominik Szoboszlai has performed well since joining from Leipzig last summer, Liverpool are keen to add more creativity and goal threat to their midfield. Simons could provide that spark, with one analyst predicting he will become “one of the best in the world.”

The young Dutchman ranks highly among his peers for key passes, progressive passes and shot-creating actions. He also appears to have a more clinical edge in front of goal compared to Szoboszlai.

With Manchester United also interested, Liverpool will need to act decisively to secure Simons’ signature. At £67 million he would become one of the club’s most expensive signings, but could prove a shrewd long-term investment as they look to maintain their place at the top of English football.

If the deal goes through, Simons would add valuable depth and quality to Liverpool’s midfield options as they aim to compete on multiple fronts next season. His arrival could be a statement of intent from the Reds as they continue to build for the future under Slot.
