FC Bayern Munich are interested in RB Leipzig's Xavi Simons as speculation grows over a possible move.
Bayern Munich in transfer fever: Is Xavi Simons coming from Leipzig?
Xavi Simons is once again at the center of speculation regarding a possible move. FC Bayern Munich is mentioned as a potential buyer for the talented offensive all-rounder. Loud Mercury Bayern has already asked RB Leipzig. Sports director Max Eberl, who brought Simons to Leipzig from his involvement with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), has contacted his player side.
While the Munich Transfer market Confirming that interest in Simons has been renewed, BILD reports that there has been no official application from Munich so far. RB Leipzig themselves also said that they had not received any inquiries, including from Newcastle.
Leipzig's selling price and the situation at Bayern
Simons is open to a change. His current club would sell him "slightly below market value," meaning they are willing to talk at a price starting at €70 million—a sum lower than the asking price for Luis Diaz, for whom Liverpool are asking around €80 million.
FC Bayern's offensive is currently thinly staffed as several key players such as Leroy Sané and Mathys Tel have left and Jamal Musiala is out for months. In this context, Simons is seen as a possible replacement for Musiala, having scored 44 points in 76 games last season. The positions on the left and right wing could offer new opportunities for him.
Internal tensions and strategic use of rumors
Although Simons is talented in sports, he is said in Leipzig to have caused tension within the team. This issue could influence the decision-making regarding his transfer. There is also the suggestion that the rumors surrounding Simons could be used strategically to build pressure in negotiations with other players.
Max Eberl is under pressure to put together a competitive attack for international competition, and a possible transfer of Simons would be the fourth move of a player from Leipzig to Munich since 2021. But the seriousness of Bayern's interest in Simons remains unclear, further fueling speculation about his future.
