Liverpool has set its sights on Xavi Simons as a top priority option to strengthen its offensive line if Luis Díaz eventually heads to FC Barcelona. Faced with the possibility of losing the Colombian this summer, the Reds are already working on weighty alternatives, and the talented Dutchman from RB Leipzig emerges as the top favorite to take his place in Arne Slot's scheme.

Simons, who is under contract with the German team until 2027, would be open to a change of scenery in search of a new challenge, and the Premier League seems to be the most attractive destination on his horizon. According to sources close to the player's environment, Liverpool is among the clubs with which he would be willing to engage in conversations. His ability to play both in the center and on the left wing makes him an ideal profile to cover multiple needs within the English team's system.

Liverpool Wants to Sign Xavi Simons

Although other teams like Arsenal and Manchester United have also shown interest, the Merseyside team is determined to expedite the procedures before his market value skyrockets. The estimated exit figure is around 60 million pounds, although it is not ruled out that Leipzig may seek a higher sum given the increasing demand for the attacking midfielder.

If Liverpool fails to secure the signing of Florian Wirtz, for whom Bayern Munich is also heavily competing, Simons stands out as the most realistic and strategic option. The Reds' sporting management knows that they cannot waste time if they want to secure one of Europe's most promising talents, especially if they have to fill the void that would be left by a departure as sensitive as Luis Díaz's.
