We still don't know which club Xavi Simons will play for, but one thing is certain: it likely won't be PSG. Despite reports that RB Leipzig is leading the race, Bayern Munich still believes they have a chance.

Although Xavi Simons has a contract with PSG until June 2027, he has clarified that he does not plan to play for the Rouge & Bleu next season. For the past few days, two clubs have been vying for the services of the Dutch international: RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich.

Manchester United is also interested, but they are considered too far behind. While there were talks of an €80 million loan with an obligation to buy from Bayern, recent trends suggest a return to RB Leipzig on loan, a club where he excelled last season (43 matches in all competitions, 10 goals, and 15 assists).

On Friday, Fabrizio Romano provided an update on this matter. According to the transfer market specialist, RB Leipzig remains the number one favorite to sign the current PSG player. The German club still has work to do to finalize the deal with PSG.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Oliver Mintzlaff, the head of the German club, has reportedly taken charge of this matter. Despite this, Bayern Munich has not given up on securing Xavi Simons and continues to push to convince the former Barca player to join them. The Munich officials are also awaiting Desire Doue's decision on his future, as he is also being targeted by both Bayern and PSG.
