Manchester city ready to rival Man United and Liverpool for exciting potential €80m PSG Star Midfielder transfer – Reports

Liverpool and Manchester United could reportedly be set to face competition from Manchester City for the transfer of RB Leipzig star Xavi Simons.

The Netherlands international has long had the appearance of one of the most promising young players in world football, but he has failed to break through into Paris Saint-Germain’s starting lineup, spending time on loan at Leipzig.

Nevertheless, it’s likely that Simons will draw attention from larger teams in the future, and Manchester City is currently very much eyeing him, according to a report from the Spanish publication Fichajes.

This comes after a recent report from Voetbal Primeur, which claimed that Simons, who is estimated to be worth €80 million, may get offers from teams like Liverpool and Manchester United. Will Xavi Simons be joining Manchester United, Manchester City, or Liverpool?

City might do well to bring in someone like Simons as a long-term replacement for ageing playmaker Kevin De Bruyne, and he’d surely be tempted by Pep Guardiola’s highly successful project.

Still, it could also be a good move for Simons to link up with fellow Dutchman Arne Slot, who is doing a superb job as Liverpool manager so far, putting the Reds firmly back into contention for major trophies.

At this moment in time, United probably doesn’t look like the best move, even if the Red Devils remain a big name in world football, and a club with a proud history.

There would be a lot of pressure on Simons to be the main man at United and help revive their fortunes, so he’d surely do better to choose Liverpool or City for a better playing environment
