I prefer to join – Man united receive huge boost as Xavi Simons finally speaks out on his future amid Man United and Arsenal transfer links
Xavi Simons has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League this summer with Manchester United among the clubs reportedly interested in the PSG winger
Despite growing rumors that he could join Manchester United in the summer, PSG star Xavi Simons has remained silent regarding his future.
After making an impact while on loan at RB Leipzig the previous season, the gifted winger scored 10 goals and provided 15 assists in 43 games.
It is said that several Premier League teams, including Arsenal and Liverpool, are interested in signing him this transfer window.
Simons, who rejoined PSG last summer via a buy-back option from PSV Eindhoven and was immediately loaned out to Leipzig, still has three years left on his PSG contract.
Despite this, he has not yet made an appearance for the French powerhouses during his second tenure.
Following his participation in Friday’s goalless draw between the Netherlands and France for Euro 2024, the 21-year-old was questioned by reporters regarding the circulating rumors.
On the transfer talk and the future, Simons stated: “I was happy in Paris. Things have happened. Now, I was in Leipzig this year. We’ll see after the Euros.”
United have been linked with a number of other wide players this summer, most notably Michael Olise. However, it seems they will lose out on the Crystal Palace star with Bayern Munich thought to be nearing a deal.
United are operating on a low budget this summer amid tight finance limits within Premier League Profit & Sustainability Rules. It’s likely that players will have to be sold if United are to land all of their targets.
Erik ten Hag is keen to bring in a defender, a midfielder and a striker. Centre-back Raphael Varane will leave upon the end of his contract this month, as will attacker Anthony Martial, while Casemiro is widely tipped to depart with them.
