Fichajes reported that Spurs, especially now with the Champions League money in their coffers, are a favorite to land Simons. Nonetheless, the German club has no intention of letting their star player leave easily, demanding a transfer fee of around €80 million.
TEAMtalk reported this week that Liverpool are one of several clubs interested in a summer move for Xavi Simons, who has featured as both a left winger and an attacking midfielder this season.
According to the report, Simons is seen as a strong fit for Arne Slot’s plans at Anfield, with growing confidence that the 22-year-old is headed for the Premier League. That interest appears to be mutual, as Slot is reportedly a fan of Simons.
TEAMtalk adds that Slot particularly values Simons’s technical ability and maturity—traits the Dutch international developed during standout spells at PSV and RB Leipzig.
