Bayern sets a target of 80 million after Wirtz's departure
The German footballer has decided to stay in Leverkusen and Bayern is searching for a new star
FC Bayern Munich has reshaped its strategy for the summer market of 2025. Florian Wirtz, their main target, seems to be out of reach. According to sources close to the Bayer Leverkusen player, only a few details remain for him to sign a contract extension until 2028, forcing the Bavarian club to look for alternatives.
The chosen one to fill that spot is Xavi Simons, a 21-year-old Dutch midfielder who belongs to Paris Saint-Germain but is currently on loan at RB Leipzig. Simons is shining in the Bundesliga, establishing himself as one of the most promising footballers in Europe. His ability to unsettle in attack and his talent in creating plays make him a high-level target for Bayern.
The signing of Simons will cost almost 100 million
PSG, however, will not let him go easily. As reported by 'The Athletic,' the Parisian club has set a price of 80 million euros for the player, a figure that the Germans would be willing to negotiate to close the deal.
One of the factors to consider is Simons' physical condition. The footballer suffered a ligament injury in his left ankle on October 23, which has kept him away from the fields. However, it is expected that he will return soon, perhaps even for this week's match against Bayern Munich, in which he could demonstrate why he is on the radar of the German giant.
