“He’s prepared to go” – Fabrizio Romano confirms that Liverpool target is eyeing a summer transfer.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot is expected to be very active during the upcoming summer transfer window as he looks to bolster his squad.

Following their Premier League title triumph this season, the club’s attention has shifted to reinforcing the team for the next campaign.

One of the key targets for reinforcement is the right-back position, with Trent Alexander-Arnold likely to depart for Real Madrid. In his place, Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong has emerged as the frontrunner to join the Reds.

Additionally, Liverpool are eyeing a new left-back, with Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez catching the attention of the Anfield hierarchy.

The Reds are also exploring options in attacking midfield, and RB Leipzig’s Xavi Simons has been linked as a potential signing.

Fabrizio Romano Provides Update on Simons

Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Simons plans to leave RB Leipzig this summer—a significant development for Liverpool’s hopes of landing him.

Romano posted on X:

“Xavi Simons has decided to leave RB Leipzig this summer. The plan remains unchanged from earlier reports—he’s ready for a new chapter, with top Premier League clubs and Bayern Munich closely monitoring him. Leipzig are fully aware of his intentions.”

Simons Could Be Key for Liverpool

Slot would benefit greatly from a midfielder like Simons, who offers both creativity and goal-scoring ability.

Midfield goals have been lacking at Liverpool, and Simons could fill that gap effectively in the coming season.

With a growing Dutch presence at Anfield—including Slot, Virgil van Dijk, Cody Gakpo, and Ryan Gravenberch—Simons would likely feel at home and settle in quickly.

While Bayern Munich remains a strong contender for his signature, Liverpool’s promising project under Slot could give them the edge in securing the Dutch talent.

Update: Liverpool in “final stages” of deal, player expected to sign five-year contract with Reds.
