Bayern Munich has not recruited a star since the transfer of Harry Kane. In the summer of 2024, the Bavarians wanted to go for Florian Wirtz, but he not only stayed at Bayer Leverkusen, but also extended his contract. Bayern also failed to buy the young talent Desire Doue, who chose Paris Saint-Germain.
Bayern Munich has planned a blockbuster transfer. They will go for him in the summer of 2025
After the fiasco of bringing Wirtz and Doue in Munich, they did not panic and set plans for the summer of 2025. Of course, Wirtz is still number one on the wish list, but signing him will probably only be possible after the 2026 World Cup. In such a case, in Munich they have a “plan B”, which seems to be equally good.
According to journalist Florian Plettenberg from German Sky Sports, Bayern's target is Xavi Simons. The Dutchman, whose CV already includes the youth teams of FC Barcelona, ​​PSV Eindhoven, PSG and RB Leipzig, would strengthen Munich's offensive formation before the 2024/25 season. The 21-year-old knows the Bundesliga very well, as he is currently on loan to Leipzig for the second time.

Simons has a valid contract with PSG until 2027, but in Paris he has not yet been given a real chance to show his skills. However, during subsequent loans he became a class player, so Bayern would like to see him at home. The club's sports director, Max Eberl, is said to be a particular fan of this transfer.
Currently, the Dutchman is recovering from an ankle injury and has played only 11 matches this season, scoring three goals and providing two assists. The website transfermarkt.de values ​​him at EUR 80 million, and the footballer himself has been considered a huge talent for years and has still untapped potential to become an absolute top player.
