PSG set price for Simons
Paris Saint-Germain are demanding £85 million for Manchester United and Arsenal target Xavi Simons, according to a report in The Sun.
Interest is said to be high in the playmaker, who is currently on international duty with the Netherlands in Euro 2024.
But any potential suitor may have to dig deep into their pocket to acquire his services.
Manchester United and Arsenal have been told to cough up a king’s ransom of £85million for Euro 2024 star Xavi Simons,” writes The Sun.
“Bild claims United, Arsenal and Bayern Munich have all put Simons high on their shopping lists.
“United are known to be in the market for a new midfielder, with Simons boasting all the qualities needed for an attacking No. 8.
“While Arsenal are determined to continue building a mega-star squad so they can go one better than the previous two seasons by lifting the Premier League title.”
Real look to beat Liverpool to Yoro
Liverpool have been dealt a transfer blow as Real Madrid have reportedly secured a transfer agreement with Lille defender Leny Yoro.
The Mirror claims Los Blancos are poised to sign the highly rated Yoro, 18, ahead of The Reds – but a move may only materialise if Nacho leaves the club.
“Real Madrid already have a transfer agreement in place with Liverpool target Leny Yoro,” reads the report.
“The Champions League winners have established themselves as the defender's preferred destination should he depart Lille this summer, claim reports in Spain. But a move for Yoro is dependent on whether Los Blancos veteran Nacho moves to the Saudi Pro League this summer.
“Los Merengues hope to utilise Yoro's agreement to utilise the defender to make clear to Lille that he wants to move to the Spanish capital, and would be willing to wait 12 months to do so.
“The French prospect has one year remaining on his contract but Lille still have lofty demands. A fee of up to £50million has been pitched though Real Madrid are hopeful of a figure nearer £34m.
“There is a great deal of interest in his signature, however. Liverpool, Manchester United and Bayern Munich have all been linked with a transfer.”
Arsenal make £17m bid for Kadioglu
Arsenal have stepped up their interest in Fenerbahce’s Ferdi Kadioglu by launching a £17m bid for the full-back, say The Sun.
The Gunners have been linked with the versatile defender, but their opening offer is said to be significantly short of Fenerbahce’s asking price of £30m.
“According to Turkish outlet Ajan Spor, Kadioglu has emerged as a top target,” states the outlet.
“The 24-year-old has been on Arteta's radar in recent months.
“Arsenal have allegedly launched a bid worth £17m in an attempt to sign him.
“However, Fenerbahce want around £30m for the full-back.
“Borussia Dortmund are also understood to be interested and have already tabled a £21m offer.”
