Manchester City are already looking at names to refresh their team next season but there is one they can’t ignore.
The transfer window might have only recently closed, but the best teams always have a list of top players they are keeping an eye on. Manchester City have been linked to PSG’s Xavi Simons, who has quietly built a reputation as a ‘monster’ midfielder.
This summer, De Bruyne was reportedly open to a move to Saudi Arabia, but in the end, he chose to stay and see what more he could achieve with Manchester City for another year. However, the reality is that he isn’t getting any younger, and the club will have to move him on at some point.
Simons has been solid once again in the first few games of the season. The 21-year-old has impressed since rejoining RB Leipzig on loan from PSG, contributing a goal and an assist in his first three matches this season. This adds to his remarkable tally of ten goals and 15 assists in the 2023-24 season.
He’s the kind of player who plays well beyond his years, and several clubs have taken notice. Manchester City will need to act swiftly if they want to stay ahead of the competition.
