X. Simons Transfer from RB Leipzig to FC Bayern München
Bayern Munich is considering Xavi Simons as an alternative to Florian Wirtz. Simons is currently on loan at RB Leipzig from PSG. Bayern Munich sees the transfer of Wirtz as almost impossible and is thus interested in Simons, with PSG reportedly asking for 80 million euros for the player.
Bayern München has renewed its interest in Xavi Simons. Although he extended his loan at RB Leipzig last summer, Bayern may pursue him once they prioritize their current players' contracts.
Bild reports on FC Bayern's interest in signing Xavi Simons and his decision to stay at RB Leipzig. Max Eberl, the Sport-Boss of FC Bayern, was extremely interested in signing Xavi Simons. He frequently called Xavi and courted him, but the player requested time to decide after the European Championship. Despite Eberl's efforts, Xavi Simons decided to stay at RB Leipzig for at least another year, turning down FC Bayern on August 3.
Xavi Simons is considered as Plan B for Bayern München if they fail to acquire Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen. Simons had discussions with Bayern's director Max Eberl before the season but chose to extend his loan at RB Leipzig. Bayern might have a better chance to sign Simons in 2025, although a significant transfer battle is expected. Paris Saint-Germain has set a high asking price of eighty million euros.
Xavi Simons has been under the radar of Bayern Munich for several months, with the club closely monitoring his progress. The talented 22-year-old Dutch midfielder, currently playing for RB Leipzig, is still owned by Paris Saint-Germain, who are reportedly open to letting him go for a fee of at least 80 million euros next summer. Despite interest from other top clubs, Bayern Munich remains keen on securing his services, viewing him as a valuable addition to their squad.
