Liverpool continues to monitor the situation of Xavi Simons, currently on loan at RB Leipzig from Paris Saint-Germain. The English side would be willing to pay the €80 million demanded by PSG for the Dutch midfielder, but an unexpected factor could complicate the deal: Jurgen Klopp, former coach of the Reds.

Klopp, recently linked to the Red Bull group in a new executive role, could become a key figure in helping Leipzig retain the talented player. According to CaughtOffside, the German team does not have the option to extend Simons' loan for another season because regulations only allow two consecutive loans to the same club. Therefore, Leipzig is considering buying the player, although the high cost set by PSG poses a significant challenge to their aspirations.

They hope the German coach convinces Simons to stay

Leipzig hopes that Klopp's influence, given his connection with the Red Bull ecosystem, will be crucial in persuading Simons to remain in Germany and reject the tempting offers from Liverpool. It would be the first major challenge for the German coach in his new role, testing his persuasive skills against one of the most promising talents in European football.

This situation raises uncertainty at Anfield, where the team led by Jürgen Klopp did not expect their former coach to play such a crucial role against their sporting interests.
