In a thrilling semi-final match of Euro 2024, Xavi Simons of the Netherlands scored a goal that will be remembered for years to come against England. This impressive performance caught the attention of Manchester United, who have been keeping a close eye on the young talent from Paris Saint-Germain. However, it seems that they may face some tough competition in the race to sign him.
Reports suggest that RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich are also interested in securing Simons' signature, making it a difficult battle for Manchester United. The 21-year-old has previously signed with PSG twice, but after spending last season on loan at Leipzig, he is now eager to leave the club. Manchester United has reportedly shown a strong interest in the Dutch international and are willing to make a whopping bid of €100m.
But they are not the only ones willing to splash the cash for Simons. Bayern Munich is also ready to make a similar offer, with L'Equipe reporting that they are willing to go up to €90m for the young forward. However, it seems that PSG is not willing to let go of their star player just yet. According to Fabrizio Romano, they are only open to loaning Simons out, with Leipzig confident that they can bring him back on another short-term deal.
Despite the interest from other clubs, PSG is not planning to sell Simons before January 1, 2025. This is because his former club, PSV, would receive 20% of the transfer fee if he is sold before that date. However, a loan deal with an option to buy could be a possibility this summer, with the permanent transfer to be completed next year. Simons has expressed his desire to leave PSG, and it seems that he may have no long-term future at the club.
Bayern Munich has not been shy about their admiration for Simons, with their sporting director, Christoph Freund, speaking highly of him earlier this month. "He is a very talented player, and he had an outstanding European Championship and a fantastic season with Leipzig. He has shown tremendous development, and I believe he has the potential to have a remarkable career at the highest level. He possesses the right mentality and character, and he is truly an exceptional player."
As the transfer saga continues, it remains to be seen which club will be able to secure the talented young player. Manchester United, Bayern Munich, and RB Leipzig are all eager to add Simons to their roster, and it will be interesting to see how this situation unfolds.
