The Athletic: Bayern Munich make transfer enquiry for RB Leipzig’s Xavi Simons

Seb Stafford-Bloor:

Bayern Munich have enquired about signing RB Leipzig’s Xavi Simons.

The 22-year-old Netherlands international has told Leipzig that he wishes to leave the club this summer, despite having joined permanently from Paris Saint-Germain for €50million in January 2025.

There are yet to be any negotiations between Bayern and Leipzig, but the player has expressed his belief that he is ready to take the next step in his career, having spent two seasons at Red Bull Arena, initially on loan deals.

While not a direct response to the injury suffered by Jamal Musiala’s against PSG at the Club World Cup, which is expected to keep him out for at least four months, the club are pursuing attacking reinforcements.
