Falk: Bayern inquired about Simmons and was interested in Nkunku, Simmons only wanted to go to Chelsea

Foreign media cfbayerninsider reported that Bayern Munich has said that Leipzig attacker Xavi Simmons has officially asked about the transfer matters and hopes to sign him before the transfer deadline.

Simmons is closely linked to Chelsea this summer, but the Blues need to sell some unreused players first to make room. The Bundesliga champions are also interested in signing Nkunku, who is expected to leave Stamford Bridge before the transfer window is closed.

Bayern has been rumored to be interested in Simmons, but their main target is Dias. With Koeman leaving the team, Bayern now feels the need to add another winger, so it rekinds interest in Simmons.

Reporter Christian Falke previously revealed that Bayern senior executive Max Ebert has close ties with Simmons. Meanwhile, club president Herbert Heiner admitted that leaving the Bundesliga is not a good thing for the league. According to previous reports, the all-round winger could leave Leipzig for about £70m, but in fact the Bundesliga club may accept an offer of around £60m.

reporter Florian Pretenberg claimed that Bayern has conducted "specific" inquiries about signing Simmons in recent weeks, but the deal is unlikely to be reached.

And Christian Falke said Simmons was completely focused on joining Chelsea, but there could be interesting developments in the case involving Nkunku. Bayern hopes to sign the French winger who failed to successfully bring him in January and his potential departure could pave the way for Chelsea to sign Simmons.

22-year-old Simmons scored 10 goals and contributed 7 assists last season in the Bundesliga. As an attacker, he can play a role in all positions in the frontcourt. Simmons is widely regarded as one of Europe's best young talents and is expected to reach world-class levels within a few years.

Nkunku struggled at Chelsea, and it was obvious that this transfer was not successful for him. But that doesn't mean he can't revive his career at Bayern. This will be a win-win situation for all parties.
