Manchester United have narrowed their striker search to two candidates: Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins and RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko. However, before spending any more money on new players, United will have to get rid of their 'bomb squad', which includes outcasts like Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, Jadon Sancho and Tyrell Malacia.
Manchester United have stepped up their interest in RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko, who is reportedly 'impressed' with the Red Devils’ project under Ruben Amorim. Newcastle United remain firmly in the race, with both Premier League sides vying for the striker’s signature. Leipzig, meanwhile, are holding firm on an €80 million asking price for Sesko this summer.
Chelsea are edging closer to landing Dutch sensation Xavi Simons, with the Blues reportedly preparing an opening bid after learning RB Leipzig’s €70 million (£60.7m/$81.5m) valuation. Talks between the Blues, Simons, and his camp have been positive, with all parties optimistic that a transfer can be actualized this summer. The 21-year-old is keen on a Premier League switch this summer.
Manchester United have joined Newcastle in the race for Benjamin Sesko, approaching the player's representatives with a tentative offer amid strong interest from the Magpies. Man Utd are in search of a quality No.9 in the summer transfer window and after missing out on Viktor Gyokeres, the club are now aiming to sign the RB Leipzig forward.
Chelsea appear to be edging closer to securing the services of Dutch playmaker Xavi Simons, with advanced discussions underway between the Blues and German outfit RB Leipzig, as reported by Fabrizio Romano. The 21-year-old attacking midfielder has emerged as a priority target for the Premier League side, who are reportedly confident of finalising the transfer before the summer window shuts.
Chelsea have enquired about the availability of Xavi Simons, who is open to the possibility of a move to Stamford Bridge. The Blues, however, will have to make a sale or two before they can make a formal bid for the RB Leipzig star. Chelsea have already bolstered their squad by signing forwards like Liam Delap, Joao Pedro and Jamie Gittens, while Estevao Willian is also set to join the club.
Jurgen Klopp has insisted yet again that he is "not the shadow boss" at RB Leipzig while revealing how he expects the team to play in the 2025-26 campaign under new manager Ole Werner. Klopp brought in Werner this summer to revive the performances of a team that finished seventh in the Bundesliga, their worst final league position since returning to the top division in 2016.
Bayern Munich have reportedly reignited their interest in RB Leipzig star Xavi Simons after missing out on Florian Wirtz and Nico Williams. The Bundesliga giants have made an enquiry about the 22-year-old, who wants to leave Leipzig just six months after joining permanently from Paris Saint-Germain. Die Rekordmeister see the former Barcelona star as a key solution to their attacking shortage.
