The journalist states that negotiations are ongoing as Bayern chief Max Eberl tries to agree on a contract.
Simons excelled while on loan at Leipzig last season, and many PSG supporters probably would have rather to see the 21-year-old remain at the Parc des Princes and earn a spot in Luis Enrique’s starting lineup for the upcoming campaign.
Bayern will be delighted if they can get this deal done for new manager Vincent Kompany, as this squad at the Allianz Arena clearly needs work after major under-achievement last season with the club missing out on the Bundesliga for the first time in over a decade.
Simons would also have been a joy to watch in the Premier League, but it seems Arsenal and Man Utd no longer look like options for the player, who is perhaps doing well to continue in Germany for another season.
Arsenal fans will hope Mikel Arteta and Edu can find an alternative in attacking midfield as Simons could have been ideal to add some spark to this Gunners side, while the Red Devils also need to make changes after their lowest ever Premier League finish last term, though one imagines their lack of Champions League football may well have been an issue for Simons
