Liverpool reportedly plans to bid £51 million to win Manchester United s signing target, Xavi Simmons

Liverpool is reportedly planning to bid £51 million for Manchester United's signing target, Xavi Simmons, to prepare for the upcoming summer transfer window. The Dutch international is a huge asset for Leipzig, but he may be heading to Anfield this summer.

It's an extraordinary season for the 22-year-old. As a great right-wing player, he has also proved his ability in the core position, which makes him one of the most important players in the German giants. This season, he has made 31 appearances in various competitions, scoring 10 goals and sending 8 assists.

At the same time, Liverpool is very interested in Simmons. This may be part of a plan to strengthen the Dutch base, which currently includes Virgil van Dyke, Cody Garkepo and Ryan Gravenbach. Head coach Arn Slott is also a Dutchman, and the Dutchman's arrival may convince Simmons to join Anfield.

But the bid for Simmons by RB Leipzig is clearly between 70 million and 80 million euros (59.6 million to 68.1 million pounds), which will be an unacceptable offer for Liverpool's offer. Given what Simmons brings to the team and his potential to further develop and grow, the Bundesliga clubs are worth this number.

At the same time, Manchester United remains interested in Simmons. The Red Devils will be alert to their opponents at Anfield, and the Red Devils have reportedly sent a delegation of scouts to observe the 22-year-old's performance.

Ferdinand claims Manchester United remains the largest club in the world, despite Liverpool winning the championship

Liverpool won their 20th England League title after defeating Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 on April 27. However, Manchester United legend Ferdinand insists that the Red Devils remain the greatest club in the world.

Ferdinand said on his YouTube channel that the success of the Merseysiders at home deserves a lot of praise. However, he believes that there is no competitor in terms of global followers and brands (via Tribal Football):

"This is true. You go to any part of the world, and United fans are more than Liverpool fans. But if they keep successful and United doesn't, the situation will change. There will be a group of new fans choosing a successful team."

He also admits that if United stagnates over the next decade and Manchester United continues to dominate, the Reds will become bigger. The Reds' championship saw Arne Slott win his first league trophy after replacing Jorgen Klopp last summer. In his first season in coaching, he did not sign any important players for the first team except Federico Chiesa, and the achievement became even more extraordinary.

However, Manchester United has struggled this season, and they are ranked 15th in the Premier League standings. Their European hope will now depend on winning the Europa League.
