Bayern Munich's front six next season will be absolutely ridiculous if everything goes according to plan.

The arrival of Harry Kane at Bayern Munich last summer made the Bavarian giants hot favourites to continue their domination of the Bundesliga last season last season, but things didn't pan out that way.

Bayern were left behind in the title race by Bayer Leverkusen, were eliminated from the German cup by a third division side and were beaten in the semi-finals of the Champions League by eventual winners Real Madrid.

For the first time since 2011-12, Bayern finished a season without winning a trophy.

The German giants are determined to avoid a repeat in 2023-24, and are attempting to bring in new players for incoming coach Vincent Kompany to work with.

Bayern already have a wealth of talent in attack in midfield, but according to Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg, they are working on signing Xavi Simons from Paris Saint-Germain.

The 21-year-old - currently playing at Euro 2024 with the Netherlands - impressed last season on loan at fellow Bundesliga side RB Leipzig.

The youngster scored 10 goals and assisted 15 in 43 games in all competitions last season, but looks unlikely to be integrated into the PSG first team.

According to Plettenberg, Bayern have "shown Xavi a clear plan and are pushing for a loan with an obligation to buy at this stage."

He reported that Bayern would play Xavi in a central role, either next to Jamal Musiala or just behind him, and in-front of a midfield enforcer.

Bayern would like Fulham's Joao Palhina to be that midfielder. If they complete both deals, then Palhina and Xavi would play behind an attacking trio of Leroy Sane, Musiala and Michael Olise with Harry Kane up top.

Bayern are expected to activate the £55 million release clause in Olise's Crystal Palace contract.

However, Leipzig are confident that they can convince Xavi of joining them either on loan again or on a permanent basis as they have not received a rejection from the youngster.
