According to a report from Bild, Bayern Munich transfer target is not yet close with RB Leipzig Xavi Simons:
According to BILD, there has only been loose communication between the clubs so far. The English club has repeatedly made it clear that a Xavi purchase is only possible if one of their players is exchanged in return.
Candidates: Axel Disasi (27), who Leipzig has no interest in, and Christopher Nkunku (27), who RB Leipzig is at least considering , but whose return isn’t being welcomed by all
the bosses. Also, Carney Chukwuemeka (21), who is now poised to move to Dortmund. But is that enough to go all in on Xavi?
RB Leipzig sporting director Marcel Schäfer is operating like Simons will be a part of the squad…until he isn’t.
“As of today, Xavi will stay with us. I have always said that we make decisions based on all sporting and economic aspects. We allow players to take the next step; we will not block any players. But only if all parameters are right, and that hasn’t been the case so far,” Schäfer said.
Bayern Munich got off to a red-hot start this season and we are thrilled with the early returns.
