Xavi Simons could leave Paris Saint-Germain in 2025 - with Manchester United reportedly one of several Premier League clubs with an interest in the Netherlands international.
Simons, 21, joined PSG from Barcelona five-and-a-half years ago but made just 11 first-team appearances for the Parisians before he was sold to PSV Eindhoven in 2022.
But after his excellent debut season in the Eredivisie, PSG activated the buy-back clause inserted in the deal that took him to Holland, and Simons returned to the Parc des Princes.
However, the attacker has spent the last two seasons on loan at Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig and, according to The Athletic, could be set for a permanent exit from PSG at the end of the season.
Simons, who has two-and-a-half years remaining on his current deal with the Ligue 1 champions, is said to have shown no signs that he is ready to extend his deal.
And it is claimed that if he were to leave the French capital, a move to the Premier League or La Liga is most likely, with Manchester United one of several teams to have held an interest in the Dutchman.
However, it is reported that PSG would demand at least £65m if they were to sell the 24-cap Netherlands international.
Meanwhile, Fenerbahce reportedly don't consider Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen as a "concrete target".
The 32-year-old midfielder it out of contract at the end of the current season and recently revealed that he is yet to open talks with Old Trafford chiefs about extending his stay at the club.
But if the Dane is to leave Old Trafford, he won't be reuniting with Jose Mourinho, according to Rudy Galetti, as he isn't on the radar of the Turkish outfit.
When asked about his United future last month, Eriksen said: "I haven't focused on it yet, and I haven't heard anything from the club, Right now, it's just about football, and then we have to see where we stand in January and for that matter in the summer."
