According to Sky Sports journalist Philipp Hinze, Liverpool remains interested in RB Leipzig defender Mohamed Simakan as they search for a replacement for Joel Matip before the transfer window closes. Although their interest hasn’t progressed to an advanced or concrete stage, Simakan is still on their shortlist.
Liverpool may face competition from Juventus, with the Serie A club also monitoring the Frenchman. Despite this, Simakan could remain at Leipzig if potential offers don’t meet his expectations. However, after three years at Leipzig, following his 2021 move from Strasbourg on a six-year contract, he’s open to a new challenge.
Leipzig, known for their shrewd transfer dealings, will likely seek to maximize any deal for one of their top assets. Reports suggest they could ask for around €40-€45 million (£34m/$44m-£38m/$50m) for the player, who made 42 appearances last season, scoring three goals and providing four assists.
While no deal is close yet, Simakan’s versatility and proven abilities make him an attractive option for Liverpool. As the transfer window draws to a close, it remains to be seen if Liverpool will take decisive action, especially since they have yet to make any signings this summer.
