Manchester United has submitted a bid of €135 million (£113.6 million, $150.9 million) to acquire RB Leipzig midfielder Xavi Simons, according to Fichajes.
The Dutch player, who would set a record as the most expensive signing in United’s history at this amount, is reportedly seeking a transfer this summer for a new challenge.
Liverpool is also showing interest in Simons, as TBR Football reports that the Reds are exploring attacking options to compensate for the creativity lost due to Trent Alexander-Arnold’s anticipated departure.
The Sun indicates that Arsenal has entered the competition for Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku, who is eager to leave.
Manchester United, Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain, Atlético Madrid, and West Ham United are all believed to be keen on the French player.
Additionally, RB Leipzig is contemplating the possibility of re-signing Nkunku, as noted by Simon Phillips, which could pave the way for a potential swap deal, given Chelsea’s interest in Benjamin Šeško, Castello Lukeba, Simons, and Loïs Openda.
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is reportedly interested in reuniting with Sporting CP midfielder Pedro Gonçalves this summer, as per Theatre of Red.
Scouts will monitor his recovery from a long-term injury before making a final decision regarding a potential offer.
Napoli has rekindled discussions with the agents of Liverpool forward Darwin Núñez, according to Calciomercato.

Núñez is among the top targets for the four clubs owned by the Public Investment Fund in Saudi Arabia—Al Hilal, Al Nassr, Al Ittihad, and Al Ahli—as reported by Asharq Al-Awsat.
Brighton & Hove Albion’s Kaoru Mitoma and Liverpool’s Luis Díaz are also being considered.
