Bayern Munich have emerged as favourites to sign Xavi Simons as Barca look set to pull out of the deal.

Bayern surpassed Barca in the race to recruit Xavi Simons

Xavi Simons grew up at Barca’s La Masia training facility before joining PSG at the age of 16. The adventure of Xavi Simons continues in PSV Eindhoven. Last season, this player joined RB Leipzig and impressed many clubs. In 43 appearances, Xavi Simons scored 10 goals and 15 assists.

However, PSG are still uncertain about the Dutch attacking midfielder’s future and could let him leave in the summer.

According to Sport, the financial situation forced Barca to withdraw from this deal. Barca cannot compete with Bayern in this deal. Therefore, Barca will shift their focus to other targets this summer. This opens the door for Bayern as they want to strengthen their squad in Vincent Kompany’s debut season.

 

Bayern’s new sports director Max Eberl is the one who recruited Xavi Simons to RB Leipzig. He highly appreciates this player and also has a connection with the Dutch star. Eberl believes Simons will succeed at Bayern and is trying to convince the “Gray Tigers” to spend money on this deal in the summer.

Xavi Simons wants his future to be decided before the Euros. However, PSG’s postponement means Xavi Simons will probably only be able to decide his future after the tournament in Germany.
