Xavi Simons has opted to remain at RB Leipzig for at least another season, despite interest from Bayern Munich. This decision follows an impressive debut season in the Bundesliga, where Simons displayed his exceptional talent and caught the attention of several top European clubs, including Bayern.
Bayern Munich’s Pursuit
Earlier in the transfer window, Bayern Munich was leading the race to sign the 21-year-old midfielder. However, in a surprising turn of events, Simons has chosen to stay with RB Leipzig. The deal is expected to be finalized soon, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
Commitment to RB Leipzig
Simons is currently on vacation but is expected to return next week, when the completion of the deal is anticipated. Sources close to the Dutch player indicate he has no desire to play for Paris Saint-Germain, further solidifying his commitment to RB Leipzig for the upcoming season.
Future Prospects
While RB Leipzig has retained Simons for now, they might face challenges in keeping him beyond this season. The young Dutchman could leave on a permanent deal next summer if the right opportunity arises.
Bayern Munich’s Shift in Focus
After missing out on Simons, Bayern Munich has turned its attention to Stade Rennes winger Desire Doue. However, securing Doue’s signature is proving to be complex. Paris Saint-Germain is also interested in the 18-year-old, making the deal far from straightforward.
