PSG's €80m-rated star has emerged as an alternative to Florian Wirtz for Bayern Munich, in case the signing of the German cannot be finalised.

With Bayern Munich looking to strengthen their squad for the 2025-2026 season, German midfielder Florian Wirtz has become a key target.

The Bayer Leverkusen star, who has been making waves in the Bundesliga, is not the only option on the club's radar as they strategise for future success.

Under the guidance of Belgian manager Vincent Kompany, Wirtz has had a remarkable start to the season, showcasing his talent and earning interest from several top clubs.

Bayern is well aware of the need to continue enhancing their roster in upcoming transfer windows, and Wirtz fits the bill perfectly. The 21-year-old midfielder has been linked with a potential move to Real Madrid, creating a buzz about his future as teams vie for his signature.

However, Wirtz is just one of the high-profile names Bayern is considering. According to reports from Sky Sports (h/t Fichajes), the club is also closely monitoring the situation of another promising talent, Dutch midfielder Xavi Simons.

Currently under contract with Paris Saint-Germain, Simons is on loan at RB Leipzig for the second consecutive season, which makes him an intriguing prospect for Bayern as they aim to strengthen their midfield for the coming years.

Simons, also 21, has been impressive during his loan spell and is seen as a potential addition that could bring dynamism to Bayern's midfield setup.

His knack for fitting into various roles on the pitch has caught the eye, and Bayern might aim to bring him on board as part of their future plans.

According to Transfermarkt, Xavi Simons' market value stands at €80 million, so if the Parisians demand over €90 million for him, it could make it the most expensive sale in PSG's history.
