Simons started his career at La Masia before moving to PSG at 16. After progressing through PSG’s youth ranks, he transferred to PSV and then went on loan to RB Leipzig, where he caught the attention of numerous clubs. Despite his potential, PSG remains undecided about the Dutch midfielder and is likely to sell him this summer.
According to Sport, Barcelona’s financial constraints have forced them to withdraw from the competition for Simons, as they believe they cannot match the offer Bayern is preparing for both PSG and the player. Consequently, Barcelona will shift their focus to other targets this summer, giving Bayern a clear path to pursue Simons to bolster their squad for Vincent Kompany’s first season.
Max Eberl, Bayern’s new sporting director who brought Simons to Leipzig, is a strong advocate for the player and maintains a good relationship with Simons and his agents. Eberl is confident that securing Simons will be a significant success for Bayern and is pushing for a high-value transfer this summer.
Initially, Simons aimed to finalize his future before the Euros, but due to delays from PSG, he now realizes that any decisions will likely be postponed until after the tournament.
