Vincent Kompany may finally get his Xavi Simons transfer wish on one condition

Vincent Kompany may finally get his Xavi Simons transfer wish on one condition Vincent Kompany could at long last get his Xavi Simons wish, but only if the player is affordable. Christian Falk reports that the Dutch international is not the highest-rated name on Bayern Munich’s summer transfer shortlist. However, a potential Tottenham relegation, coupled with a lowering of the attacking midfielder’s valuation, could tempt potential suitors from Germany.

Xavi Simons would have to be cheap for Bayern to consider Fans may remember that both Kompany and Bayern chief Max Eberl were attracted to the prospect of bringing Simons to Munich in the summer. In the end, however, Uli Hoeneß put a stop to any such hopes, citing the need for the club to promote from within rather than splash an exorbitant amount of cash. “It’s a question worth asking in terms of whether someone like Xavi Simons would appeal if Tottenham were to be relegated this season,” Falk exclusively informed CF Bayern Insider .

“Vincent Kompany and Max Eberl both like the player. However, he was simply too expensive to sign from RB Leipzig last summer. Uli Hoeneß, the former president of Bayern Munich (but still part of the supervisory board), shared a nice story about this particular topic.

We knew Kompany paid a visit to Tegernsee (an hour away from Munich), where Hoeneß lives, along with Christoph Freund, the sporting director. They were asking permission to sign Simons. However, Uli Hoeneß simply said you can’t sign Simons, but you can have some apple pie!
