In the late afternoon of June 2, 2025, exactly at 5:04 p.m. Vietnamese times, Bayern Munich announced a transfer coup that amazes the football world. The talented Xavi Simons, who has caused a sensation at Paris Saint-Germain in recent years, changes to the German record champion. The 22-year-old Dutch signs a five-year contract that binds him to the Allianz Arena by 2030. With this contract, Simons receives the third highest salary in the current squad of Bayern Munich, which illustrates the enormous expectations of his future services. But not only the salary makes headlines – it is the transfer fee that puts all previous speculations in the shade. According to sources that are close to the association, Bavaria is said to have paid a record amount that other interested clubs such as Real Madrid, Manchester City and FC Barcelona finally threw out of the race.
Xavi Simons, who is known for its versatility and creativity in midfield, has shown in Ligue 1 and at loan stations such as RB Leipzig that he is a player with great potential. In the 2024/2025 season, he scored an impressive 12 goals and 15 assists in 40 games at PSG, which made him one of the most coveted talents in Europe. His ability to act both as an offensive midfielder and on the wings makes him a perfect addition to the system of coach Thomas Tuchel. “Xavi is an extraordinary player. He brings speed, technology and an enormous joy of playing. We are convinced that he will take the next step in his career with us,” Tuchel said in a press conference shortly after the official announcement.
For Bayern Munich, this transfer is a clear sign of the competition. After a season in which the Champions League left the semi -finals, the club wants to fight for all titles again. Simons should help to make the team’s offensive even more unpredictable. Fans of the association are enthusiastic and see a potential successor to legends like Thomas Müller in the young Dutch. The hashtag #willbeitenxavi has been traveling on platforms such as Twitter for hours, and the first jerseys with his name are in great demand in the fan shops.
The record revenue, the exact height of which has not yet been officially confirmed, is estimated at over 100 million euros. Experts see this an investment in the future, but also a risk, since Simons has not yet won a title at the highest level. Nevertheless, the football world is excited to see how the young star will develop in Munich. With players like Harry Kane and Joshua Kimmich at his side, Simons has the best conditions to shine in the Bundesliga and in Europe. The coming season could be a crucial turning point for Bayern Munich and Xavi Simons, and fans can hardly wait to see him on the pitch.
