Liverpool is emerging as the top choice to outbid Manchester United for a potential replacement for Salah.

Liverpool is reportedly preparing an €80 million offer to secure the transfer of RB Leipzig’s Xavi Simons, who is also a target for Manchester United.

The Dutch international has emerged as a key target for Liverpool this summer, especially as they may lose Mohamed Salah when his contract expires.

According to Fichajes, Liverpool is keen on Simons as a potential replacement for Salah and appears to be in a favorable position to make the signing.

Simons’ €80 million price tag seems steep for Manchester United, making Liverpool the frontrunners to acquire the 21-year-old talent.

With seven goals and five assists in 18 Bundesliga matches this season, it’s clear why he is attracting interest from top clubs.

While the prospect of signing a player like Simons is exciting for Liverpool fans, the primary focus should be on retaining Mohamed Salah.

The Egyptian forward has been exceptional for Arne Slot’s team this season, positioning them as strong contenders for the Premier League title.

Losing Salah on a free transfer would be a significant setback, and even a promising player like Simons may not be able to fill his shoes immediately.

Although Simons has a bright future ahead, expecting him to replace Salah at this stage would be a considerable challenge.

Nonetheless, Simons may prefer a move to Liverpool over Manchester United, given the current turmoil at United and their distance from competing for major titles.
