Bayern Munich Ponder €80M Raid for Man Utd, Liverpool Target With PSG Sell-on Clause

Fichajes reports that Bayern Munich view Xavi Simons as a strong fit for their plans, but RB Leipzig’s asking price could be a major hurdle. The Red Bull-owned club, facing the setback of missing out on European competition, has already made Simons available for transfer.

Leipzig are reportedly demanding around €80 million, which has forced Bayern Munich to think carefully about whether they’re ready to commit to such a significant investment.

Simons’ camp is reportedly watching Bayern Munich’s next steps. While the interest from the Bavarian side is serious, any deal will likely hinge on potential departures from the squad—and whether deeper-pocketed clubs decide to make a move for the talented Dutchman.

Empire of the Kop recently reported that Liverpool are preparing an opening bid of around €60 million ($67.8 million) for the Netherlands international playmaker, as Arne Slot aims to boost his attack for next season.

However, despite Slot’s desire to make this player his first summer signing, the offer will likely fall short. RB Leipzig are reportedly holding out for closer to €80 million ($90.4 million).
