Manchester United is suddenly raising interest in Xavi Simmons.
The British Mirror reported on the 12th (Korea Standard Time) 'Utman coach Erik ten Hag is considering whether to continue the Dutch revolution through the loan transfer of Dutch attacking midfielder Simmons'
One of the hottest potatoes in the transfer market this summer is Simmons' next destination. It was expected that Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) would appoint Simmons after having to replace Kylian Mbappe, but surprisingly, PSG decided to let Simmons go.
Bayern Munich was the most active club to hear that Simmons appeared for sale in the transfer market. Bayern is already in talks with Simmons. European transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano said on the 4th that Bayern is in contact with Simmons as the sporting director contacts him every day. RB Leipzig also want a player. be open to competition" he once said.
Manchester United's appearance in the Simmons recruitment match, which was narrowed down to competition between Bayern and Leipzig, could serve as a big variable. Coach Ten Hag also said he was strongly impressed by Simmons' performance while watching Euro 2024.
Ten Hach said at the time, `I enjoyed Simmons' play. His drive, passion to own the ball and his intelligence to recognize the situation are the best. It doesn't look like Dutch. I think I've been trained abroad," he said in high praise.
Currently, PSG prefers a full transfer after unconditional lease. This is because if Simmons is fully transferred this summer, a portion of the transfer fee will have to be paid to PSV Eindhoven. Simmons is said to have the power to decide his future destination. With the Netherlands out of the Euros, it's time for Simmons to consider the options he's given.
If Simmons can be recruited, there is nothing bad about Manchester United. None of Manchester United's strikers played their part last season except Bruno Fernandes. Marcus Rashford, Antony was extremely sluggish, and Rasmus Hoylun revealed the limits of his individual abilities. Alejandro Garnacho felt he still needed to grow.
Simmons showed the best level of performance in the German Bundesliga as he emerged as the core of Leipzig after a season on loan. It is a second-tier resource with excellent soccer intelligence and scoring ability that utilizes teammates. Another advantage is that he can play anywhere in the second line.
Manchester United's recruitment of Joshua Girksey is currently only announced. The recruitment of Matthijs de Ligt is progressing without much variables. If Simmons emerges as the next target after De Ligt, Manchester United may bring in only three Dutch players this summer.
