Many Liverpool fans expressed their dissatisfaction with the club’s performance during the summer transfer window, but potential links to a new player could generate some early excitement for January.
According to Christian Falk’s report for CaughtOffside, “Xavi Simons has the same clubs interested in him. Liverpool has a coach who speaks the same language, which presents great opportunities for both clubs.”
“Historically, both United and Liverpool have shown interest in the player, but Manchester City is also in the mix, and he would fit perfectly into Pep Guardiola’s system.”
“He’s more likely to join the Premier League than Wirtz. Alongside Musiala, there could be three valuable transfer targets available next year.”
Interest in Xavi Simons could be promising, especially since the attacking midfielder consistently posed a threat for the Netherlands during the Euros this summer.
Arne Slot’s familiarity with the 21-year-old from their time at Feyenoord makes this move seem logical on paper.
However, key concerns will revolve around the transfer fee, wages, and whether there’s room for the attacking midfielder in the squad.
These factors will be significant obstacles as the recruitment team compiles a list of potential signings for when the transfer window reopens in a little over three months.
