“I will decide only after the Euro. I want to concentrate fully on the tournament first. The high intensity of the German championship and the way we put pressure allowed me to take the next step in my development. It was the best decision I could have made and I’m glad I dared to do it. For me personally, it was a very good season with the German Super Cup, even if we could have done better. PSV was also a first choice for me and I am happy to have been able to help the club get back on the road to the Champions League.”. These were the words of Xavi Simons on his future this week.
One thing is certain, as we revealed to you exclusively on our site, he is not going to stay at Paris Saint-Germain this summer. After a brilliant season at RB Leipzig – 8 goals and 11 assists in 32 Bundesliga matches – he will have to find a new club, mainly because he does not particularly want to stay in Paris where he believes that he will not have a major role.
One more year in the Bundesliga?
The possibility of staying in Leipzig is on the table, but in recent weeks, it was FC Barcelona who seemed to be the favorite. The Catalan club wishes to repatriate the Dutchman trained at La Masia; an idea which greatly appeals to the person concerned. But now, as explained Sport, Barça believes that a return of Simons is now impossible. And for good reason, Bayern Munich would have arrived in force in this matter in recent days.
A permanent transfer to the Bavarian team is even possible according to the Catalan publication. Max Eberl, the club’s new sporting director, knows him well since he brought him to Leipzig, and he gets on well with the player and his entourage. Bayern are ready to make a big bet and make a significant investment to attract Simons to their ranks. It now remains to be seen what PSG is asking for in return…
