Manchester United have reportedly made a significant offer for RB Leipzig’s Xavi Simons.
Gazzetta dello Sport claim that United, among other clubs, are keen on signing the Dutchman this summer.
Simons, who has been on loan at Leipzig from PSG, impressed during the 2023-24 season, particularly with his performances in the European Championship, where he was a key player for the Netherlands alongside Cody Gakpo.
His goal against England highlighted his potential and skill.
Simons has emerged as one of the most promising young talents in Europe.
Initially developing his skills at Barcelona’s famed La Masia academy, he moved to Paris Saint-Germain, where he continued to hone his abilities.
His loan spell at Leipzig has allowed him to gain valuable first-team experience in a competitive environment, further enhancing his reputation.
Simons’ versatility, and ability to play both as an attacking midfielder and a winger, make him a valuable asset for any team.
Meanwhile, Dani Olmo is another player to keep an eye on.
With three goals and two assists, Olmo was crucial in Spain’s journey to the European Championship final.
His creative playmaking and goal-scoring ability have made him a sought-after player.
Olmo’s release clause is set at €60 million, a figure that must be paid in a lump sum by 20 July.
His statement, “Whoever wants me knows what they have to do,” indicates his readiness to move, provided the clause is met.
United’s interest in both players signals their ambition to reinforce their squad with top-tier talent.
The potential acquisition of Simons and Olmo could significantly strengthen United’s midfield and attack, adding creativity, pace, and technical skill.
However, they face competition from Arsenal and Manchester City, with Pep Guardiola’s side also reportedly interested in Olmo.
