Bayern snatches Xavi Simons amid PSG drama

It's set to be a real saga for PSG with the issue of Xavi Simons' future. For several weeks, the player has reportedly expressed his desire not to continue under the Parisian skies, and today an agreement is said to have been reached with Bayern Munich.

While he is still involved with the Netherlands for Euro 2024, particularly for their round of 16 match against Romania this Tuesday evening, Xavi Simons' future remains uncertain. His loan spell at RB Leipzig has now ended, making the Dutchman a PSG player under contract until 2027.

Several weeks later, Simons reportedly informed the Parisian management of his desire not to play for Paris Saint-Germain in the 2024/2025 season. Consequently, multiple options are emerging for Xavi Simons, with the most persistent being Bayern Munich.

According to Fabrice Hawkins, a journalist for RMC Sport, the Bavarian club has reached a salary agreement with the Parisian talent, offering annual earnings of 6 million euros, potentially rising to 12 million euros.

This agreement is pushing Bayern Munich's management, led by sporting director Max Eberl, to continue negotiations with their PSG counterparts. The talks are expected to be lengthy given the complexity of the deal, especially with a portion of any potential transfer fee likely to go to PSV Eindhoven.

As such, the option of another loan could be back on the table. According to Fabrice Hawkins, RB Leipzig remains interested and has not given up on securing another loan for Xavi Simons.

Indeed, the complexity of a direct transfer means that the future deal for Xavi Simons might only be a loan or a loan with an option to buy. The exact format is yet to be determined, regardless of which club will host Simons.
