Manchester City See £60M-Rated Liverpool Target With PSG Sell-on Clause as Florian Wirtz Alternative

On Tuesday, GIVE ME SPORT reported, citing sources, that Leipzig are ready to cash in on Xavi Simons when the transfer window reopens, and he has expressed a strong desire to eventually make his first Premier League move.

Moreover, the outlet claims that Leipzig are open to making a big sale after missing out on the revenue from Champions League qualification. As a result, it could give Manchester City the chance to swoop for Simons. Moreover, the Dutchman is an alternative to Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz.

GIVE ME SPORT also notes that Manchester City have discovered that Simons has a £60 million price tag. However, they are long-term admirers after tracking him for the past 12 months. They are contemplating whether to head to the negotiating table amid fears that Wirtz could choose to join Bayern Munich.

Recently, former Manchester United and Blackburn chief scout Mick Brown said Arne Slot is pushing Liverpool to make a move for Simons as soon as the summer transfer window opens. It will be interesting to see which Premier League side wins this Simons sweepstakes this summer.
