Bayern Munich has entered the race with Barcelona to sign PSG’s €70 million-valued player. Xavi Simons, currently on loan at RB Leipzig, is attracting significant attention from top clubs, including Barcelona, who have shown long-standing interest in the 21-year-old former La Masia talent. RB Leipzig is also keen on retaining him for the rest of the season.
It appears that major teams are now competing to sign Xavi Simons for the summer. Bayern Munich has entered the race alongside Barcelona and other clubs, according to Sky Germany (via AS). Simons, currently on loan at RB Leipzig, has had an impressive season, contributing to 25 goals across all competitions. However, with Kylian Mbappe expected to leave PSG, Simons may not be part of the squad for the next season.
The situation is complicated by the fact that PSG values the 21-year-old talent at around €60–70 million for a permanent transfer. As a result, both Bayern Munich and Barcelona are likely to pursue a loan deal for the Dutch player this summer. Simons, meanwhile, prefers to join Barcelona.
Xavi Simons is keen to return to Barcelona this summer, as previously noted. However, Barcelona’s financial issues pose a challenge, especially if PSG demands a permanent transfer rather than a loan. The Catalan club needs to act swiftly to secure Simons and strengthen their squad for the upcoming season, as Bayern Munich has also joined the competition.
