Manchester United Consider £67M Bid for Xavi Simons

Manchester United are reportedly planning a major transfer move this summer, with RB Leipzig midfielder Xavi Simons emerging as a top target. The Red Devils could be prepared to pay up to £67 million for the Dutch starlet, just months after he completed a permanent transfer to the Bundesliga club.

According to German journalist Christian Falk, Leipzig may look to cash in on Simons for a quick profit, despite only signing him permanently in January. The 21-year-old has impressed in Germany, with Leipzig potentially seeing an opportunity to make a significant return on their £41 million investment.

Simons could be the ideal signing to kick off the Ruben Amorim era at Old Trafford. The Portuguese manager’s preferred 3-4-2-1 system requires creative advanced midfielders, and Simons would fit perfectly alongside Bruno Fernandes to reinvigorate United’s attack.

The young Dutchman has already shown his quality this season, recording 4 goals and 2 assists in just 12 Bundesliga starts. His 1.95 key passes per 90 minutes demonstrates his creative abilities, which are not far behind Fernandes’ 2.29 per 90.

While the potential £67 million price tag is steep, investing in a “crazy talent” like Simons could be exactly what Manchester United need to return to the top of English football. As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Old Trafford to see if they can secure this exciting prospect.
