Bayer Leverkusen is keen on bringing Xavi Simons to the club as a potential replacement for Florian Wirtz, who may leave next summer.
Xabi Alonso had direct communication with Simons, discussing a possible partnership, in contrast to Bayern Munich's less personal approach via WhatsApp.
The transfer of Simons hinges on Wirtz's departure, projected to generate around €100m, providing sufficient funds for Leverkusen to pursue Simons.
Despite interest from Bayern Munich as a backup plan, Simons edged towards RB Leipzig for this season, with future uncertainty surrounding both players.
