After weeks of intense speculation, multiple reliable sources have confirmed that Bayern Munich have tabled a concrete offer for Xavi Simons, the Leipzig forward who has been catching the eye this year. The bid signals the first move in what could be intense negotiations - with the team said to be reluctant to let an important player go unless his valuation is met. Tottenham, Manchester City and Chelsea remain in the background, but for now, Bayern Munich are leading the way in ongoing talks. At 4.4 goals scored per game this season, Bayern Munich already pose a big threat. Xavi Simons would be expected to maintain that level and give them another reliable option in attack. Leipzig have also been linked with Fabio Silva, Rasmus Winther Hojlund and Bilal El Khannouss while Bayern Munich are reportedly monitoring Jadon Sancho, Aaron Anselmino and Trevoh Chalobah.
