Premier League Transfer Buzz: Simons and Asensio on the Radar

Top Premier League clubs eyeing RB Leipzig's Simons and PSG's Asensio amid rising transfer excitement.

Transfer Market Heat Up

As the January transfer window approaches its climax, excitement intensifies across the Premier League as several big clubs set their sights on RB Leipzig's talented attacking midfielder, Xavi Simons. According to reports by Christian Falk of Bild, Manchester City, Liverpool, and Manchester United are keeping a keen eye on the 21-year-old superstar. After showcasing his tremendous skill during the last European Championship, Simons has quickly become a hot prospect.

Current assessments suggest that an enticing offer in the ballpark of €70 million to €80 million could secure his services. With a contract that runs until the summer of 2027, RB Leipzig faces a challenging decision as more clubs line up for his signature.

Aston Villa's Pursuit of Asensio

In a related development, Aston Villa is reportedly in discussions with Paris Saint-Germain to sign Marco Asensio. The 29-year-old winger, who joined PSG in 2023, is keen on making a move to Villa Park. With 16 appearances across all competitions this season, his desire to seek new challenges could see him don Villa colors before the transfer window closes.

Additional Rumors and Developments
Beyond Simons and Asensio, the transfer market buzz doesn’t stop there:

  • Barcelona is rekindling their interest in Newcastle's Bruno Guimarães, with speculations suggesting they may offload Frenkie de Jong to facilitate the move.
  • Rayan Cherki of Lyon is attracting attention from Borussia Dortmund, with a possible fee of €22.5 million on the table.
  • Despite a hefty offer from Como exceeding €40 million, AC Milan's Theo Hernández remains uninterested, preferring to continue his dealings at the San Siro until 2026.
