The summer transfer window is in full swing and Manchester United is looking to secure the signature of Paris Saint-Germain winger Xavi Simons. The 21-year-old caught the attention of United after a successful loan spell with RB Leipzig, where he scored eight goals and provided 13 assists in the Bundesliga. It is reported that United boss Erik ten Hag is a huge fan of Simons, with assistant manager Ruud van Nistelrooy working hard to convince the player to make the move to Old Trafford.
Despite competition from Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig, United’s financial strength could give them the upper hand in negotiations. PSG is rumored to be asking for €100 million for Simons, a figure that might prove to be a stumbling block for Bayern and Leipzig. Barcelona is also said to hold an interest in the winger, but their financial constraints could see them losing out on the player.
Crystal Palace midfielder Eberechi Eze has caught the eye of both Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool. The 26-year-old had a productive season, scoring 11 goals and providing three assists in the Premier League. Palace is rumored to be demanding a fee similar to the €50 million Bayern Munich paid for Michael Olise, but it remains to be seen if they are willing to part ways with Eze after losing Olise to Bayern.
Juventus has turned their attention from Manchester United’s Jadon Sancho to FC Porto winger Wenderson Galeno. Sancho, who was initially keen on a move to Juventus, has reportedly had positive talks with United manager Ten Hag, potentially keeping him at Old Trafford. This development has prompted Juventus to explore other options, with Galeno emerging as a target. Porto is said to be open to approaches in the region of €40 million for the Brazilian winger.
Sevilla is looking to strike a deal with Barcelona for winger Ansu Fati. The Spanish club has expressed interest in Fati, especially if Barcelona secures their transfer targets this summer. Fati, who spent last season on loan with Brighton & Hove Albion, could be on the move as he falls down the pecking order at Barcelona. Sevilla is reportedly open to a loan deal for the talented winger, whose future remains uncertain.
Contrary to reports, Saudi club Al Ittihad has not reached an agreement with Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne. The Belgian international has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia, but negotiations are still ongoing. Instead, Al Ittihad is focusing on securing a deal for Aston Villa’s Moussa Diaby, with a €60 million package with Villa reportedly agreed upon.
Crystal Palace and Fulham have made unsuccessful approaches for Arsenal midfielder Emile Smith Rowe, with both offers rejected by the Gunners. Despite interest from the two clubs, Smith Rowe’s entourage has not pushed for a move, leaving his future up in the air.
The summer transfer window is heating up, with top clubs vying for the signature of talented players. Negotiations are ongoing, and it remains to be seen which deals will come to fruition before the window closes. Stay tuned for more updates on the latest transfer buzz in the world of football.
