According to Plettenberg, “here is now a new decision at FC Bayern: Either Xavi or Désiré Doué will be signed!” The reasons cited are: increased prices, no sales so far …” Hence, per Plettenberg, “The Bayern focus is currently still on Xavi. He is Max Eberl’s desired transfer target. Therefore, there is no new or second offer for Doué yet.”
And what of Dani Olmo? According to Plettenberg: “Dani Olmo remains a Bayern candidate if both transfer fail, Xavi and Doué.”
While Xavi had an excellent debut season for RB Leipzig, will the young midfielder be willing to Bayern and fight for his place?
