Arsenal and Manchester United are gearing up to compete with Bayern Munich in the race to sign Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Netherlands star Xavi Simons.
The 21-year-old attacker, currently representing the Netherlands at Euro 2024, showcased his talent in a recent 2-1 victory over Poland.
According to L’Equipe, Manchester United has made contact with PSG regarding a potential transfer for Simons.
Similarly, Bayern Munich and Arsenal have also reached out to the French club expressing their interest in the promising youngster.
Despite the interest, PSG appears reluctant to sell Simons on a permanent basis, primarily due to a financial clause in his contract.
After re-signing him from PSV Eindhoven in 2023 for a reported €6 million buy-back fee, PSG agreed to a condition allowing PSV to receive the majority of any transfer profits if Simons is sold before January 2025.
Simons’ performance on loan at RB Leipzig last season was impressive, where he scored 10 goals and provided 15 assists across all competitions.
This standout season has amplified interest from top European clubs looking to secure his services.
As the transfer window heats up, it remains to be seen whether PSG will negotiate terms that could see Simons leave, and which club will ultimately secure the talented attacker’s signature.
