Manchester City is eyeing Xavi Simons as a potential replacement for Kevin De Bruyne in the upcoming summer transfer window. The club is considering several players, and Simons has emerged as a standout option after an impressive loan spell at RB Leipzig, where he contributed to 22 goals this season.

Simons, a talented Dutch midfielder, is set to return to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the summer as the French club exercised a buy-back option in his contract from PSV Eindhoven. However, PSG might be open to using Simons as a bargaining chip in a deal, with reports suggesting that they could offer him to Manchester City in exchange for Bernardo Silva.

Although PSG has plans for Simons, Manchester City sees him as a potential replacement for De Bruyne, who has attracted interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia. The English club views Simons as an intriguing option, but a deal with PSG will likely require a significant fee due to his successful season at RB Leipzig.

Apart from Manchester City, Simons is also drawing interest from other clubs like Arsenal and Barcelona. Arsenal is keen on acquiring talented young stars like Simons, while Barcelona’s financial constraints may hinder their chances of signing the midfielder. As a result, a move to the Premier League seems like a viable option for Simons, with both Arsenal and Manchester City expected to compete for his services in the upcoming transfer windows.
