Xavi Simons of Paris Saint-Germain plans to decide his future after UEFA Euro 2024. It’s rumored that he won’t remain with PSG, and several top European clubs are eager to sign him this summer.
L’Equipe recently reported that Arsenal, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Manchester United, and Manchester City have all contacted PSG to explore the possibility of acquiring Simons.
Moreover, another report last month revealed that Bayern Munich is preparing to submit a loan offer that includes an obligation to buy, with the transfer fee expected to be between €60 million and €70 million.
The latest details on this file come from RMC Sport’s Fabrice Hawkins, who reveals that Simons has reached a salary agreement with Bayern Munich: €6 million gross, which can rise to €12 million. Hawkins adds that the player has already told PSG he wants to leave.

During his loan spell at RB Leipzig, Simons made a significant impact, featuring in 43 matches across all competitions, scoring 10 goals and registering 15 assists.
Valued at £40 million by Bayern, other clubs may up the bidding and offer £45 million, which is what PSG value him at.
