According to Sport, Paris Saint-Germain’s asking price for Xavi Simons could reach €100 million, which is far beyond the budget of Bayern and Leipzig, and only Man Utd might be able to afford it.
After billionaire Ratcliffe’s takeover, Man Utd have shown their intentions in the summer transfer market. They don’t want to be a dispensable team in the current transfer market, especially in the Premier League.
They recently beat Real Madrid and PSG in the transfer market, snatching 18-year-old potential center-back Joro for a total of €70 million. Obviously, this situation could repeat itself in the case of Xavi Simons’ transfer. Man Utd head coach Erik ten Hag wants Simons and assistant coach Ruud van Nistelrooy has ensured that he will work hard to attract him through Man Utd’s project, while owner Ratcliffe has also approved to pay a little more.
It is understood that PSG originally planned to continue loaning Simons to their close partner Leipzig, but now Bayern and Man Utd both want the young Dutch international. Bayern have already submitted a transfer offer close to €70 million, but it may still not satisfy PSG.
Simons’ agent, Darren Dein, could negotiate with Man Utd at a price tag of €100 million, a figure far beyond the budget of Bayern and Leipzig.
