 Liverpool Submit $68M Bid for Xavi Simons

 

 

Liverpool have reportedly made a formal offer of around $68M (£54M) for PSG’s dazzling young attacker Xavi Simons.

 

The 21-year-old Dutchman, who spent last season on loan at RB Leipzig, has been one of Europe’s most exciting talents, contributing  10 goals and 15 assists in all competitions. While PSG are open to selling him, they are said to prefer another loan move. However, Liverpool’s substantial bid could tempt them into a permanent deal.

 

Key Details:

– Simons is keen on regular playing time, which Liverpool can offer.

– PSG may include a buy-back clause in any deal.

– Competition from Bayern Munich and Chelsea could complicate negotiations.

Jorrel Hato on Liverpool’s Radar

 

 

Arne Slot’s arrival as Liverpool’s new head coach has sparked interest in Ajax’s 18-year-old defensive sensation Jorrel Hato. The left-footed center-back, who can also play at left-back, is seen as a long-term replacement for Virgil van Dijk.

 

Latest Updates:

– Liverpool scouts have watched Hato multiple times last season.

– Ajax value him at €40M+, but Liverpool could negotiate a lower fee.

– Arsenal and Manchester United are also monitoring the situation.

Dean Huijsen Also in the Mix

 

Another young defender linked with Liverpool is Juventus’ Dean Huijsen, who impressed on loan at Roma last season. The 19-year-old Dutch-Spanish center-back is highly rated, and Liverpool are exploring a potential loan with an option to buy.

Why Huijsen?

– Tall, technically gifted, and comfortable on the ball.

– Could provide depth behind Van Dijk and Ibrahima Konaté.

– Juventus may prefer a permanent sale, but a loan deal is possible.
