Liverpool 'learn' £70m price tag as Xavi Simons transfer 'update' emerges

Latest Liverpool transfer news and gossip with updates on Xavi Simons and Antoine Semenyo

Liverpool do not have much longer to wait before they are able to go into the transfer market for new signings. The summer window is just a couple of months away from opening, giving the Reds the chance to strengthen their squad should they wish to do so.

It remains to be seen which players Arne Slot will look to add to his squad this summer. Giorgi Mamardashvili is already a guaranteed new arrival after a deal was agreed with Valencia last year. A host of players have already been linked with moves to Liverpool ever since the January transfer window closed.

Only time will tell if any of the rumours will have any basis of truth when it comes to being potential targets for the Reds heading into the summer. Here, we take a look at some of the latest Liverpool transfer news and gossip that has been generating headlines.

Xavi Simons competition

Liverpool will reportedly face fierce competition for the signing of RB Leipzig star Xavi Simons. The Reds have been linked with a move for the Netherlands international in recent months, and now a fresh update has emerged about his future.

The Daily Mail is reporting that Manchester United have joined the race to sign Simons, who is said to have been scouted by Liverpool throughout the season. Manchester City and Bayern Munich are also reported to be interested in Simons, who signed permanently for Leipzig from Paris Saint-Germain in January.

Antoine Semenyo update

Liverpool have been told how much they would need to pay to sign Bournemouth star Antoine Semenyo. Reports in recent weeks have linked the Reds with a move for the Cherries forward when the summer transfer window opens.

According to Give Me Sport, Bournemouth would demand a fee of at least £70million before considering letting Semenyo leave the club this summer. Liverpool are not the only club reportedly interested in signing Semenyo, though, with Man United and Tottenham Hotspur also in the running for a potential deal.
