Manchester United remains keen on RB Leipzig midfielder Xavi Simons, but a potential transfer doesn't seem realistically feasible.
Details. According to Florian Plettenberg, the Mancunian club has never taken Simons off their radar. They highly value his playing abilities. In addition to a forward, the "Red Devils" are also seeking a versatile attacking midfielder.
However, for Man United, Xavi is very expensive. RB Leipzig is demanding at least 80 million euros for a player they only bought from PSG last winter for 50 million euros plus bonuses. Nevertheless, Xavi's departure is possible, and the "Bulls" are open to lucrative offers.
It is noted that Man United is monitoring other players from the Bundesliga, including Benjamin Sesko and Hugo Ekitike.
Reminder. It was previously reported that Leipzig staff are frustrated with Simons. Allegedly, he does not take criticism well, making it difficult to offer him advice or make remarks.
