Manchester United Go for French Gold: Xavi Simons and His £70 Million Price Tag Next Up?

Manchester United are making waves this summer with their transfer business. On the back of landing Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee and Lille ace Leny Yoro, the Red Devils are reportedly in the hunt for Paris Saint-Germain hotshot Xavi Simons.

The 21-year-old winger impressed during a loan spell with German outfit RB Leipzig and starred at Euro 2024. Last summer, PSG snubbed a £50 million offer from United for Simons. As the transfer season heats up, talk of a £70 million plus premium is rumbling.

United insiders claim talks with PSG have stalled over the asking price. Manchester United might have to break their record transfer fee to secure Simons’ signature.

Sources close to the Old Trafford squad hint that the transfer is inching closer, as United brass and Simons’ agent Jorge Mendes continue dialogue.

Jorge Mendes, the power broker behind Xavi Yoro’s £30 million signing, represents Simons alongside a litany of top clients. Should Mendes prevail, another French gem joins the ranks of the Red Devils.

The recent developments mirror their pursuit of Uruguayan midfielder Manuel Ugarte. Fabrizio Romano, trusted transfer guru, updates on Ugarte:

"Personal terms agreed, Ugarte is keen on joining Man United. Club-to-club talks are still ongoing."

This £28 million-rated deep-lying midfielder is all but done as United navigate negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain and other potential suitors.

Manchester United’s summer activity echoes their last campaign when they landed midfielder Casemiro from Real Madrid. Are the Red Devils revamping for glory? Follow 90min for more updates on your favorite players and teams!
