Florian Flettenberg, a reporter from Germany's Sky Sports who is familiar with Bayern news, reported on his personal SNS on the 2nd (Korea time) that Bayern agreed on important personal conditions with Xavi Simmons.
Simmons, a member of RB Leipzig, has grown into the best winger in the Bundesliga with 10 goals and 13 assists in 43 official games in the 2023-2024 season, exploding his potential. PSG also considered one of the candidates to raise Kylian Mbappe as the next franchise star along with Lee Kang-in if Simmons returns and stays on the team.

In the beginning, Barcelona was the most active club for Simmons. Spanish media reported that `Sabi will stay in Barcelona next season and start to imagine the squad he wants. We are already discussing positions to reinforce. The position I believe should be strengthened is the midfield. Xavi wants several people to be recruited. The player Xavi really likes and wants to play next season is Xavi Simmons,' he said, noting the possibility of Simmons moving to Barcelona.
Since then, while Barcelona has been mired in financial problems, the situation has changed with the emergence of big clubs that could further interfere with PSG's plans. Bayern, which watched Simmons' performance in the Bundesliga, will take the lead in recruiting Simmons through an active offensive.

If Simmons goes on loan with a transfer option to Bayern, it could certainly be a boon for Lee Kang-in, who was a strong position competitor. Simmons is a player who can play in left and right wingers and central attacking midfielder positions, and his positions exactly overlap with Lee Kang-in. Considering Simmons' performance, it is highly likely that he gained the upper hand when competing with Lee Kang-in. If the transfer is made, Simmons is likely to play as a team with Kim Min-jae, another Korean player in Bayern, instead of competing with Lee Kang-in at PSG.
One of PSG's best talents is approaching a move to Bayern. Attention is also focusing on how Simmons' choice to head to Bayern in the transfer market will affect Lee Kang-in and Kim Min-jae, PSG and Bayern.
