Xavi Simons on Bayern interest: "There are always talks in football"
Xavi Simons has remained tight-lipped about speculation that he was in negotiations with Bayern Munich over a summer move before signing for Tottenham from RB Leipzig.
“There are always talks in football, but I don’t want to name any names. Max (Eberl, Bayern's board member for sport, editor's note) was one of those who brought me to RB, and I will always be grateful to him for that,” Xavi Simons told the Leipziger Volkszeitung.
The Dutchman ultimately moved to Tottenham for a reported €65 million.
“The most important thing was to find a place where I can continue to develop and play my style of football. That’s the case with Spurs," said Xavi.
"My first impressions of the club are fantastic – I felt the energy and ambition when I was introduced to the fans,” he explained.
