Liverpool will go for Xavi Simons if Luis D\u00edaz signs for Bar\u00e7a"},"content":{"rendered":"

Liverpool is preparing an explosive summer market. In addition to Florian Wirtz, the ‘Reds’ have set their sights on Xavi Simons as a possible replacement for Luis D\u00edaz<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

Liverpool’s board seems willing to star in a record summer this 2026 in terms of signings. After spending only 12 million euros in the last summer market for Federico Chiesa, Arne Slot’s team, brand new Premier League champions, have drawn up a very ambitious roadmap foreseeing, among other factors, the possible departure of Luis D\u00edaz<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>

The Colombian international is one of FC Barcelona’s favorite left wingers<\/strong> to shield their powerful offense and the ‘Reds’ already have two operations underway in the face of the possible departure of the ‘7’. One of them points to the signing of Florian Wirtz<\/a>, who according to Fabrizio Romano would have already communicated to Bayer Leverkusen his desire to wait for an offer from those of Merseyside.<\/p>

The contract agreement is done, sealed as Wirtz only wants Liverpool move.

In principle, the arrival of the German would become the most expensive signing in the history of the Premier League, with 150 million euros fixed and a gross salary of 20 ‘kilos’ for the attacking midfielder<\/strong>. In addition, if ‘Lucho’ finally goes to Bar\u00e7a or another European giant, Liverpool would also have an ex-Azulgrana player ‘in the crosshairs’: Xavi Simons<\/strong>.<\/p>

Xavi Simons, Liverpool’s ‘plan B’ to cover the loss of Luis D\u00edaz<\/h2>

The latest information points to the interest of Arne Slot’s team in the Dutch player, whose departure price will be around 70-75 million euros in the next market<\/strong>. RB Leipzig acquired his services this season in exchange for 50 ‘kilos’, after a year and a half loan from Paris Saint-Germain.<\/p>

In 24\/25, Simons scored 11 goals and 8 assists in 33 games with Leipzig, records slightly more discreet than those of his first year with those of Zsolt L\u0151w (10G\/15A). Another team very attentive to Xavi’s future is Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid<\/strong>, but Liverpool will have an advantage in the negotiations if, finally, it makes money with Luis D\u00edaz.<\/p>

The departure of the Colombian should leave about 70 M\u20ac in the coffers<\/strong>, enough to amortize the arrival of the tulip\u00e1n midfielder even when the club spends 150 ‘kilos’ on Florian Wirtz. Will Bar\u00e7a be a protagonist in this multi-million dollar operation?<\/p>
