Bayern keep Xavi Simons on their shortlist for summer of 2025

Xavi Simons' future for next season has finally been resolved and he will play one more year on loan at RB Leipzig. The transfer of the midfielder has been considered by other clubs such as FC Barcelona and Bayern Munich, once PSG made it clear that they would not be able to count on him.

The Bavarians, who have insisted the most, have not forgotten about the Dutchman despite not being able to sign him this summer. According to journalist Florian Plettenberg, Simons is still on their radar and a transfer in 2025 is possible.

The player has a contract with the Parisians until June 2027, so delaying his purchase by a year could make the deal cheaper. In addition, the Munich club wants another playmaker, as Muller is facing his last steps at the highest European level.

Another target for the Bavarian giants is Bayer Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz. In fact, he is on the Germans' shortlist ahead of Simons, but it looks difficult to sign him for next season.
