According to a report of Leipziger Volkszeitung journalist Guido Schäfer, RB Leipzig is not going to go away easily in the competition for Paris Saint-Germain attacker Xavi Simons.
Simons, who starred for Die Roten Bullen last season while on loan, is considered to be one of the top players available on the transfer market. Will this be the moment that RB Leipzig wields its financial power to outduel Bayern Munich? Maybe per Schäfer (as captured by @iMiaSanMia):
Red Bull CEO Oliver Mintzlaff has made keeping Xavi Simons at RB Leipzig a top priority and is determined to prevent Max Eberl from snapping up the Dutchman.
There have been wild rumors floating around regarding Bayern Munich and Simons, but the Bavarians are currently overloaded in the attack and would likely need some players to leave for Simons to be brought in.
That task might be easier said than done this summer.
