Liverpool Not Focused on Midfield Reinforcements but Keeping an Eye on Xavi Simons
Liverpoolās Transfer Priorities Shift Elsewhere
Liverpoolās recruitment strategy for the upcoming summer window is unlikely to prioritize midfield reinforcements. Sporting director Richard Hughes and his team are expected to focus on other areas, particularly defense, as Trent Alexander-Arnoldās contract approaches its final stages.
Additionally, an overhaul in the attacking department could become necessary if Mohamed Salah departs Anfield at the end of the season. However, the club remains open to seizing transfer opportunities if the right player becomes availableāone such player being RB Leipzigās Xavi Simons.
Liverpool Keeping Tabs on Xavi Simons
Reports from BILD journalist Christian Falk suggest that RB Leipzig is willing to part ways with Simons this summer, sparking interest from Liverpool, Manchester United, and Manchester City.
The key question is whether Liverpool would be willing to meet the Dutch internationalās valuation, which falls between Ā£58.5 million and Ā£66.9 million.
Xavi Simonsā Standout Performances in Europe
Statistical data from FBref highlights Simons as one of the most impressive attacking midfielders in Europeās top leagues.
