After lifting the Premier League title, Liverpool are now focused on building a squad strong enough to defend their crown next season. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Xavi Simons will leave RB Leipzig this summer. That is boosting hopes for a Reds move.
The Dutchman is skillful and creative and fits directly into the plans of Arne Slot at Anfield. With midfielders failing to contribute goals this season, the 21-year-old could be the attacking midfielder the side is missing. The Leipzig star can definitely score and assist at an elite level, making him a complete player. He is the kind of a player that Slot will want in his squad for the next season.
If he does end up joining the Merseyside outfit, he will join the likes of Dutch international teammates Virgil van Dijk, Cody Gakpo, and Ryan Gravenberch. Also, he will be of value both on and off the pitch.
Liverpool also looking for defensive and midfield reinforcements
While Simons is grabbing headlines, the PL champions are also expected to make changes at the back. The plans are already in place to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold with Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong. The Reds are also looking for a new left back with Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez being monitored.
Slot’s plan to rebuild the Reds includes strengthening both flanks and adding more depth to the midfield. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich remain a big threat in the race for Simons. However, Liverpool’s exciting project under Slot could tip the scales in their favour.
Liverpool is quickly becoming a destination for top talent across Europe. The PL club has a new-look squad, exciting style of play, and clear ambitions. If the deal for Simons does go through, it will be a huge statement for Liverpool.
