With the Premier League title now secured, Liverpool are shifting focus to their summer transfer plans.
The club is expected to be active in the window as they aim to strengthen the squad and add more top-level talent.
Arne Slot has done well at Anfield despite limited transfer spending so far, but that could change this summer, with the champions reportedly ready to back him in building a long-term winning team.
According to Empire of the Kop, Liverpool are preparing an initial bid to sign RB Leipzig’s Xavi Simons.
The 22-year-old Dutch international has impressed in the Bundesliga, catching the eye of several major European clubs.
Simons fits Liverpool’s needs
Simons’ ability to play across various attacking and midfield roles makes him an ideal target for Liverpool, who value versatility in their squad.
With a strong Dutch presence already at the club—featuring Virgil van Dijk, Cody Gakpo, and Ryan Gravenberch—Slot is now hoping to bring in another compatriot.
This season, Simons has notched 10 goals and 8 assists in 31 appearances, shining both as an attacking midfielder and left-winger.
Liverpool ready to make €60m offer
Reports suggest Liverpool are preparing a bid worth around €60 million (£51.1 million) for the talented youngster.
Bayern Munich Sporting Director Christoph Freund has praised Simons as an “exceptional player,” highlighting the level of competition for his signature.
Meanwhile, Liverpool have also received a significant boost in their pursuit of West Ham star Mohamed Kudus, as they look to further bolster their attacking options.
