Man United are ready to spend €100m to sign attacker who impressed at Euro 2024
Manchester United are ready to break the bank for Paris Saint-Germain star Xavi Simons.
The Dutch international is being chased by Man United as well as Bayern Munich this summer.
Simons impressed for the Netherlands at the Euros this summer, particularly receiving praise for his performance against England in the semifinal.
The Red Devils have signed striker Joshua Zirkzee and defender Leny Yoro this summer already.
They are set to continue their spending to continue their growth under new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
The Premier League giants are reportedly contemplating offering PSG about €100 million in exchange for Simons, according to SPORT.
Simons made a big impression while on loan at RB Leipzig. He played in 43 games in all competitions, notching 10 goals and 15 assists.
The Dutch international has the qualities to develop into a world class attacker even at such a young age.
When needed, he can play in the number 10 position in addition to being able to play comfortably on either flank.
The Dutchman will add versatility to Man United and if they make a move for him to bring him to Old Trafford, he will be reuniting with Ruud van Nistelrooy, his manager at PSV in the Dutch Eredivisie.
With the club already spending a huge amount on Zirzkee and Yoro, the €100m figure being quoted in the Spanish media looks out of Man United’s reach.
Man United need a new midfielder this summer
They need to sign a midfielder as well since the future of Casemiro, Christian Eriksen and Scott McTominay is uncertain at the club.
To spend that amount on an attacking player at this moment makes no sense for the Red Devils.
They need a midfielder first and foremost and an attacking full-back who can help the wide players during attack.
The club hierarchy are busy identifying transfer targets this summer and providing manager Erik ten Hag with the best resources to perform next season.
