According to a report from Bild (as captured by Sport Bible), RB Leipzig attacker Xavi Simons will reject an approach from Bayern Munich in favor of a move to Chelsea FC or another Premier League club.
The bottom line is that the 22-year-old Dutchman wants a move to England:
RB Leipzig midfielder Xavi Simons will reportedly reject a move to Bayern Munich. The 22-year-old Netherlands international has been persistently linked with joining a Premier League club in recent transfer windows.
Arsenal, Liverpool,
ADBarcelona and Manchester United, among others, have all been credited with an interest in the attacking midfielder, who can also play out wide. The midfielder has been a target for Bayern Munich this summer, particularly after the Bundesliga holders missed out on the signing of Florian Wirtz to Liverpool.
However, according to Bild, Simons will turn down any approach from Bayern as he favours a move to the Premier League.
Specifically, it is claimed that the player’s agent will approach Chelsea over a possible transfer.
Right now, Bayern Munich is solely focused on Liverpool FC’s Luis Diaz and VfB Stuttgart’s Nick Woltemade. Should either of those two moves fall through, Bayern Munich might have one less option to consider.
The careers of Liverpool FC’s Luis Diaz and Bayern Munich board member for sport Max Eberl could end up intertwined if the transfer move goes through. Meanwhile, is the rest of the Bundesliga sick of being bullied by Bayern Munich and is the league bleeding too much talent? Also, Paul Wanner and Lennart Karl could be in line for opportunities during the preseason...can the youngster take advantage of those chances? Finally, the father of Florian Wirtz talks through how the decision to join Liverpool played out and you can hear how HBO screwed BPW this week.
