The Merseyside membership dispatched a delegation to the latest Bundesliga fixture between Wolfsburg and RB Leipzig, with the latter profitable 3-2 mainly thanks to 2 objectives from Xavi Simons, who’s believed to have been on the Reds’ radar for a while.

What has Romano mentioned about Simons?
Romano claimed {that a} summer season exit for the 21-year-old is a ‘concrete risk’, with the Premier League mentioned to be the ‘most certainly vacation spot’ if a suggestion of roughly €75m (£64.3m) is submitted.
Though Simons’ final dream is seemingly to play for Barcelona, a transfer to the LaLiga pace-setters is ‘unlikely’ to materialise in 2025.

How seemingly are Liverpool to maneuver for Simons this summer season?
Simons actually made probably the most of his audition in entrance of Liverpool’s scouts towards Wolfsburg, and the Reds may very well be out there for a left-sided attacker if Luis Diaz had been to depart in the summertime.
The Dutchman reportedly has a ‘gentleman’s settlement’ with Leipzig which’d facilitate a transfer elsewhere if he needs to maneuver on (CaughtOffside); and the Merseysiders have a long-standing relationship with the Bundesliga membership, from whom they signed Naby Keita, Ibrahima Konate and Dominik Szoboszlai in earlier years.
His supervisor Marco Rose has hailed him as a ‘difference-maker‘ for the staff, and at 21 he ought to solely get even higher as he continues to develop forward of reaching the prime of his profession.
Liverpool will realise that Simons could be attainable in the event that they critically push for him this summer season, though Richard Hughes can even be desperate to strengthen different elements of Arne Slot’s squad in what David Ornstein has talked up as a doubtlessly ‘busy’ switch window.
The Netherlands worldwide mightn’t essentially be on the prime of FSG’s record of potential recruits, however we’ve seen previously that the Anfield hierarchy are fairly able to pouncing on an astute alternative if one had been to pop up.
