Manchester United are reportedly interested in Manuel Ugarte, but he’s not the only Paris Saint-Germain player they’re eyeing. Xavi Simons seems to be on his way out, and the Red Devils are also looking to bring him to Old Trafford.
Bayern Munich are also keen on the 21-year-old as L’Equipe reported that the Bavarian club have made an initial offer for Simons, including a purchase option valued at €90 million.
L’Equipe recently reported that Manchester United are pursuing a move for Simons and have been working on a deal to bring Simons to Old Trafford for a year. As the situation for the Dutchman continues to ramp, new information surfaces on the future of the PSG standout.
Sky Sport Germany’s Florian Plettenberg reported on Saturday that Bayern Munich have been exploring different options, like bringing Simons on board this summer or waiting until 2025. The reason for considering 2025 is that PSV Eindhoven will no longer be involved, which would simplify the deal.
However, Bayern Munich’s main aim is to secure Simons’ signature now. They’re currently negotiating with PSG, and personal terms have already been agreed upon. The German side probably know that Manchester United are in the mix and want to secure the player as quickly as possible.
