Liverpool remain in the battle to sign RB Leipzig attacking midfielder Xavi Simons, despite their interest in Bayer Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz, according to a report from TEAMtalk.
Arne Slot's side are pushing to secure the signature of German international Wirtz for the summer transfer window, with some reports claiming that a deal is '99% done'. The Reds are also looking to bring in a new left-back, with talks advancing on a deal for Bournemouth's Milos Kerkez, according to GIVEMESPORT sources.
Jeremie Frimpong has already been brought to the club from Bayer Leverkusen, showing that Liverpool aren't messing around in the market despite their Premier League triumph this season. It's an exciting time to be a Liverpool supporter, but their business doesn't appear to be stopping after Kerkez, Wirtz, and Frimpong.

With Simons' contract expiring in 2027, Leipzig will have a big decision to make on his future this summer. If they are unable to agree on an extension, then the Bundesliga outfit could be forced to cash in in the coming months to avoid him leaving on a free transfer in 2027.
It comes as a bit of a surprise that Liverpool remain in the market to sign Simons, who has been praised as a 'superstar' by Breaking The Lines. The signing of Simons would be smart in isolation, but him and Wirtz would both be competing for the same position if the duo arrived at Anfield this summer.
Whether Slot could fit both Wirtz and Simons in the team remains to be seen, but it's an exciting prospect nonetheless.
