Bayern Munich linked with Xavi Simons

Tottenham Hotspur star Xavi Simons could be a tempting option for Bayerm Munich in the summer transfer window, Bild journalist Christian Falk.

Falk wrote on his website, CFBayernInsider: “It’s a question worth asking in terms of whether someone like Xavi Simons would appeal if Tottenham were to be relegated this season. 

“Vincent Kompany and Max Eberl both like the player. However, he was simply too expensive to sign from RB Leipzig last summer. 

“Uli Hoeneß, the former president of Bayern Munich (but still part of the supervisory board), shared a nice story about this particular topic. 

“We knew Kompany paid a visit to Tegernsee (an hour away from Munich), where Hoeneß lives, along with Christoph Freund, the sporting director. 

“They were asking permission to sign Simons. However, Uli Hoeneß simply said you can’t sign Simons, but you can have some apple pie!

“This summer, we have to see! Xavi Simons has to be really cheap for Bayern to even consider it. 

“In the meantime, there are a few other names on the shortlist that are more highly rated. 

“Of course, if FC Bayern can’t sign their top options and Simons is affordable, then perhaps this could be an option. But not for the moment.”
