Man Utd & Arsenal battle Bayern for PSG attacker Xavi Simons after impressive season with RB Leipzig

Simons impressed last season during his loan spell with RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga as they finished fourth and attained Champions League football for the upcoming season. Marco Rose reportedly wanted Simons back, however, Leipzig will not be able to afford the Dutchman this summer. With PSG not looking to keep him at Parc des Princes, multiple clubs have shown interest in Simons' services.

As per Diario Sport, Manchester United and Arsenal are piquing their interest in Simons for a transfer this summer. Bayern Munich have already shown their interest in a move for the 21-year-old Netherlands international and are currently the favourites to sign him following Barcelona's departure from the race.

PSG are still unsure as to what they want to do with the Dutchman as Luis Enrique is a known admirer of Simons but he will not be able to guarantee playing time to the 21-year-old this season. PSG may be leaning towards letting him leave on loan as any transfer fee they receive this summer will be transferred to PSV Eindhoven as part of the sale-on clause.

Simons started for Ronald Koeman's Netherlands side in their Euro 2024 opener against Poland as they won 2-1. Simons will decide upon his future only after the conclusion of the tournament as he doesn't want any hindrances to the ongoing competition.
