Bayern Munich moves to hijack Bracelona 21-year-old RB Leipzig target

As the summer transfer window opens, Xavi Simons seems to be in high demand. The PSG loanee has become a target for several top teams, including Barcelona.

Indeed, Barcelona has been interested in the 21-year-old former La Masia star for a while now, and his current loan club, RB Leipzig, also wants to keep him after the season is over.

But it looks like another big team has joined the race to sign Simons this summer.

Munich is interested in Simons

It’s true that Sky Germany (h/t AS) says Bayern Munich has joined Barcelona and other teams in the race to sign Xavi Simons from PSG before the start of the next season.

The Netherlands international has had a great season with RB Leipzig in Germany, helping to set up 25 goals in all categories.

However, Simons probably won’t be on the PSG team next season, even though Kylian Mbappe is leaving.

For their part, the Parisian giants want around €60–70 million to get rid of their 21-year-old jewel, which makes things more difficult.

Because of this, both Barcelona and Bayern Munich will look for a loan deal for the Dutch player this summer.

Simons wants Chelsea to win.
It has already been said that Xavi Simons wants to move back to Barcelona in the summer.

But the Catalans’ money problems make things hard, especially if PSG insist on a permanent move instead of a loan exit.

Bayern Munich has now joined the race, though, so Barcelona will need to move quickly if they want to sign Simons and add him to their team for next season.
