Liverpool could soon be celebrating a Premier League title win if all goes to plan on Easter Sunday.
The Reds are within two wins of securing the championship, but could be crowned if they beat Leicester and Arsenal lose to Ipswich on Sunday.
While the red half of Merseyside prepares for a generational party, work is seemingly ramping up behind the scenes at Anfield to deliver a big summer transfer window.
Liverpool have been quiet in the market since Arne Slot’s arrival last summer, but that is set to change at the end of the season.
One player who is generating plenty of talk ahead of the summer is RB Leipzig star Xavi Simons.
The Dutchman has had another impressive campaign in Germany, earning the admiration of some of Europe’s top sides.
Journalist David Lynch recently claimed Liverpool are ‘100 per cent’ interested in Simons as they look to add more creativity to their squad.
Simons himself has now appeared to confirm as much, with journalist Florian Plettenberg sharing some interesting quotes from the Netherlands international after Leipzig’s 1-1 draw with Holsten Kiel on Saturday.

“I’m still a young player, I have many dreams – and the club knows that,” Simons said.
Top clubs like Manchester United, Liverpool and many others are all keen on him.” he says.
“Leipzig want €80m [£69m] for Xavi if he decides to leave this summer.
A departure is possible for him.”
Although an attacking midfielder would not be top of too many supporters’ wishlists this summer, there is a clear need for more creativity within the Liverpool team.
A player like Simons could provide that.
The former Barcelona youngster has racked up 30 assists in three seasons with Leipzig and PSV Eindhoven.
On top of providing for his teammates, though, Simons is also a proven goal scorer himself.
Having bagged 22 times for PSV in 2022/23, the youngster has hit 10 across each of the next two campaigns in Germany.
10 goals and six assists in 29 appearances this season tells the story of a young player who can get even better as he ages and develops.
