Xavi Simons is supposedly being considered by Man United for a summer approach. Linked to Man United before, the 21-year-old has forward and midfield versatility. Reportedly for nearly €80 million (£60 million), he first agreed to move RB Leipzig on January first. He has arguably had impressive Bundesliga credentials, with six goals and four assists. Leipzig’s run has not gone well. They have been knocked out early of the Champions League. United may be set to revive their interest in the very promising youngster as Premier League interest grows.

With several teams interested, including Man United, Arsenal, and Liverpool, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano says Simons is willing to depart this summer. Though Leipzig spent big amounts of money to get him, sources say the playmaker wants first team football in the Premier League or La Liga. The conversations would depend on Leipzig’s stance on Simons’s future and financial terms. Romano believes the summer transfer market offers a decent opportunity for such mobility.
