Bayern Munich on a transfer spree: Xavi Simons from Leipzig in their sights!
FC Bayern Munich have officially expressed their interest in Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig. The 22-year-old player, who was transferred from Paris Saint-Germain to Leipzig in January 2025 for 50 million euros, is the focus of the Munich team. Simons, who has already been on loan at Leipzig for 18 months and was able to impress there, could take the next steps in his career this summer transfer window. Despite his susceptibility to injury, the Dutch international played 33 competitive games in the 2024/2025 season, scoring eleven goals and assisting eight more goals. All of this makes him a sought-after person on the market, especially since Leipzig failed to qualify for European competitions this year and Simons is apparently toying with a move.
As n-tv.de reports, FC Bayern is still looking for reinforcements. However, the interest in Simons is not directly related to Jamal Musiala's injury, which has also prompted the club to become active in the transfer market. However, there have been no talks between Bayern and Leipzig so far, and the Munich team has only made one request.
Negotiations and expectations
According to sports.yahoo.com, a transfer fee of around 70 million euros is expected for Simons in the event of a move. This sum would be a significant increase compared to what Leipzig paid to permanently sign him after his loan. With Bayern looking for further attacking reinforcements following Florian Wirtz's departure to Liverpool and Nico Williams' contract extension at Athletic Club, a move from Simons to Bayern could be hugely significant not only for the player but also for the club.
In addition, other players, Luis Díaz from Liverpool and Nick Woltemade from Stuttgart, are also on Bayern's wish list, which shows that there are clear ambitions in Munich to strengthen their position for the coming season. Simon's personality could play a central role here, but the clarifying discussions are still pending and a potential transfer remains exciting.
