Liverpool manager Arne Slot prepares a €60m swoop for a 22-year-old prodigy hailed as an ‘exceptional talent.’

With the Premier League title secured, Liverpool shift their focus to summer transfers, aiming to revamp their squad and bolster its quality.

Arne Slot has enjoyed success at Anfield despite limited spending in the transfer market, but that is set to change this summer, as the Premier League champions are ready to back their manager in building a lasting legacy.

According to Empire of the Kop, Liverpool are preparing to make an initial bid to sign Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig.

The 22-year-old Dutch international has caught the eye of several top European clubs due to his stellar performances in the Bundesliga.

Liverpool are on the lookout for a versatile attacker, and Simons fits the bill with his ability to play effectively in various midfield and forward positions. His flexibility makes him a desirable target for the Reds, who would welcome a player like him into their squad.

Liverpool already boasts a strong Dutch presence with Virgil Van Dijk, Cody Gakpo, and Ryan Gravenberch, all of whom played key roles in the club’s title victory this season. Slot is now keen to add another Dutch talent to his ranks.

Simons has impressed with 10 goals and 8 assists in 31 appearances this season, showcasing his ability to perform both as an attacking midfielder and left-winger. The Premier League champions are reportedly preparing to make an offer for the talented youngster.

According to the report, Liverpool are set to make an offer of around €60m (£51.1m) for the talented Dutchman.

Bayern Munich’s Sporting Director, Christoph Freund, has lauded Simons, describing him as an “exceptional player.”

In terms of bolstering their attack, Liverpool have received a significant boost in their pursuit of West Ham United’s Mohamed Kudus.
