It would appear that Xavi Simons is in great demand as the summer transfer market opens. Many elite clubs, notably Barcelona, have taken an interest in the PSG loanee.
Both Barcelona and the 21-year-old star of La Masia, who is currently on loan at RB Leipzig, are keen on keeping hold of him once the season ends.
However, it appears like another major club has entered the bidding for Simons’ services this summer.
Simons has sparks of curiosity from Munich
Indeed, according to Sky Germany (h/t AS), Bayern Munich is reportedly in the hunt to acquire Xavi Simons from PSG before the upcoming season begins, with Barcelona and other clubs.
The international from the Netherlands has been fantastic this season for German club RB Leipzig, setting up 25 goals across all competitions.
The departure of Kylian Mbappe from PSG does not bode well for Simons’ future at the club.
Parisian titans want €60–70 million to sell their 21-year-old treasure, adding another layer of difficulty.
This is why the Dutch player will be targeted for a loan deal by both Bayern Munich and Barcelona this summer.
Win for Chelsea is what Simons wants.
Word on the street is that Xavi Simons plans to return to Barcelona this summer.
The Catalans’ financial woes complicate matters further if PSG is certain about a permanent transfer rather than a loan exit.
However, Bayern Munich is now in the hunt as well, so Barcelona will have to be swift if they wish to acquire Simons for next season.
