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.

Chelsea have still not found a breakthrough in their bid to sign RB Leipzig’s Xavi Simons, despite Red Bull CEO Oliver Mintzlaff getting involved in the negotiations ( Philipp Hinze ). The Blues must first make sales before a transfer to Stamford Bridge is possible for the 22-year-old who bagged 11 goals and eight assists last term.
