Manchester United and Liverpool Eye Major Summer Transfers: Simons and Read in Focus
Manchester United and Liverpool are gearing up for a busy summer transfer window, with key targets including RB Leipzig's Xavi Simons and Feyenoord's Givairo Read.
Manchester United's Pursuit of Xavi Simons
Manchester United are reportedly ready to make a significant investment to secure the services of RB Leipzig's creative attacker, Xavi Simons. According to Sky Sport Deutschland's Florian Plettenberg, the Red Devils are keen on the 21-year-old Netherlands international, although the transfer fee could be a major obstacle. Leipzig is said to be demanding an €80 million fee for Simons, who has had a productive season in the Bundesliga with 11 goal involvements in 18 games.

The 18-year-old has been impressive in the Eredivisie, contributing six assists in 17 league appearances. Barcelona is also monitoring Read's progress, although they are currently satisfied with their starting right back, Jules Koundé.
