“Unbeatable Deal” – Journalist unveils price that could see Liverpool secure ‘exceptional’ attacker
“Irresistible offer” – Journalist reveals price that could see Liverpool land ‘exceptional’ attacker
A Bundesliga expert has revealed the price Liverpool could pay to secure a highly-rated forward from Germany’s top division.
It seems like RB Leipzig is keen on keeping Xavi Simons, but there’s still a chance he could be sold if the right offer comes in. While Christian Falk didn’t specifically name Liverpool, his update suggests that Leipzig’s stance on Simons is different from Benjamin Šeško’s, who has a clear agreement to leave if the price is met. Given reports that Simons’ asking price has dropped from €100m (£83.7m), it’ll be interesting to see if Liverpool or any other club makes a move for him.
RB Leipzig are keen to keep Xavi Simons, but a potential summer transfer isn’t off the table. According to Christian Falk, there’s a gentleman’s agreement in place, though Leipzig still want to profit from the deal since they haven’t yet paid all the add-ons from his original transfer.
While €60m wouldn’t be enough, an offer of €70m could force Leipzig’s hand, especially if Simons wants to take the next step to the Premier League. His long-term move to England seems inevitable, but whether it happens this summer or next remains uncertain.
Manchester City admire him, while Manchester United have shown serious interest in the past. However, with financial constraints at United, it remains to be seen if any club is willing to meet Leipzig’s valuation. Simons is performing well, though he’s not yet at a world-class level, making his price tag a key factor in any potential deal.
Liverpool’s established relationship with RB Leipzig could work in their favor once again as they weigh up a potential move for Xavi Simons. With his reported asking price dropping from €100m to €70m (£59m), the Dutchman has become a more viable target for top European clubs.
Highly rated by both Bayern Munich’s Christoph Freund and Leipzig boss Marco Rose, Simons is seen as a player with the talent and mentality to thrive at the highest level. However, for Liverpool, the key question is where he ranks among their summer priorities.
James Pearce recently suggested that the club’s transfer budget may depend on contract renewals for Mo Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Virgil van Dijk. That means Richard Hughes and the recruitment team must decide whether reinforcing other positions takes precedence over investing in an attacking midfielder like Simons.
Falk’s insight makes it clear what Leipzig would demand for a sale, but the decision now rests with FSG—are they willing to commit to a €70m deal, and do they see Simons as a must-have addition?
