Manchester City is considering the possibility of signing Xavi Simons, the current player of PSG loaned to RB Leipzig, as part of its strategy to find a long-term replacement for Kevin De Bruyne. The Belgian midfielder, a key player in Pep Guardiola's team, could leave the club next summer, leading Manchester City to seek alternatives to fill his void in midfield.

Bayern and Liverpool also pursuing Xavi Simons

According to Football Insider, Manchester City's interest in Simons is not without complications, as other European giants like Bayern Munich and Liverpool are also closely monitoring the young talent. This competition to secure the services of the promising midfielder could challenge the English team's intentions, as they see Simons as a key figure for their future.

Xavi Simons has shined both at PSG and RB Leipzig, the club where he is currently on loan. His versatility and ability to create offensive plays make him a similar profile to De Bruyne, placing him on the radar of several elite teams. Manchester City, aware that De Bruyne is nearing the end of his career, believes Simons could be the ideal successor to maintain the level in their midfield.

Despite the strong interest from Bayern and Liverpool, Manchester City trusts in its sporting project and Pep Guardiola's influence to attract the young Dutch talent. However, it will be crucial to see how the transfer market evolves, as the competition for a player of Simons' caliber will be fierce.
