The Reds get a clear run as Manchester United are focused on other targets
RB Leipzig signed Xavi Simons on a permanent deal in the winter window, but are now prepared to sell him in the summer transfer window for a quick profit.
The German club are prepared to accept a fee in the region of £60m for him, and Liverpool and Manchester United are battling to sign him this summer.
However, according to TEAMTalk, Liverpool are set to get a clear run at Simons as Manchester United are focused on signing another player a the moment.
Ruben Amorim wants to sign a number 10, and Wolves’ Matheus Cunha has emerged as the top target for the Red Devils in the upcoming transfer window.
