RB Leipzig midfielder Xavi Simons has been linked with a move away from the Bundesliga club this summer, with Chelsea and Manchester United interested in him.

According to a report by SPORT via Sport Witness, Chelsea and Manchester United have opened talks with the representatives of Xavi Simons. Barcelona are also interested, but they may not be able to afford him.

Valued at €70 million, Simons could be an excellent acquisition for any of the three clubs. He is capable of playing as an attacking midfielder or out wide and brings goals and creativity to the side.

Both Chelsea and Manchester United need more cutting edge in the final third, and Simons has already shown his quality in Germany. Despite the price tag, he has the potential to justify the investment over time.

Barcelona also need attacking reinforcements, but it remains to be seen whether they’ll pursue other targets due to financial constraints.

A move to the Premier League or La Liga would be a significant step for Simons. The 21-year-old Netherlands international will likely be enticed by the chance to compete at the highest level. Regular football in England or Spain could help him unlock his world-class potential.

RB Leipzig are unlikely to let him go without a fight. Any club that wants to sign Simons will need to meet the asking price. Whoever secures his signature may be landing a future superstar.

All three clubs could use Simons

Chelsea and Manchester United have struggled to compete for major trophies in recent seasons. Signing a player like Simons could be a step toward returning to the top of English football.

Meanwhile, Barcelona managed to win the league title last season, and they made it to the semifinals of the UEFA Champions League. They could help the Netherlands International fulfil his ambitions in the near future. However, the asking price could prove to be problematic for the Spanish outfit, who are going through financial difficulties.

The young midfielder will look to continue his development and push for major trophies as well. Joining elite clubs like Chelsea, Manchester United, or Barcelona would be attractive for him.
