Xavi Simons and Paris Saint-Germain, a relationship that has often been special. Arriving on a free transfer in the summer of 2019 from FC Barcelona, the Dutch attacking midfielder had completed his training with the Parisian club. Discovering the first team, he had little playing time and left on a free transfer in the summer of 2022 to PSV Eindhoven. A new convincing adventure since he simply exploded under the Boeren tunic. PSG was able to take advantage of this thanks to a clause inserted at the time of his departure and Xavi Simons returned to the French capital for 4 million euros. A short-lived return for him since he had been directly loaned to RB Leipzig, where his season was exceptional (10 goals and 15 assists in 43 games).
While we were waiting for his return to Paris Saint-Germain, he who has a contract running until June 2027, Xavi Simons quickly showed his desire to leave again to have significant playing time. The Euro 2024 semi-finalist then had two options in front of him, Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig. Finally, it was the Saxons who were able to take the advantage in this case since Xavi Simons appreciated his loan last season and wanted to maintain a certain continuity. Pushing for this operation to happen, RB Leipzig put all its chances on its side to achieve it.
PSG and Leipzig finalize the file
“At the moment, I can’t promise that Xavi will return to training after the US tour in Leipzig. But I can promise you that we will have done everything to ensure that he stays in Leipzig.” said President Johann Plenge yesterday Kicker. This seems to have had its small effect. Indeed, Sky Sports Germany announced this Monday that Xavi Simons has definitely made his decision and absolutely wants to continue his career with Leipzig. A trend that had emerged over the last few days. Faced with the player’s wishes, Paris Saint-Germain is currently negotiating with RB Leipzig on the conditions of this transfer.
Thus, we are heading towards a new loan of Xavi Simons in Germany until the end of the season and a one-year extension of Xavi Simons at Paris Saint-Germain could take place. All that remains is to agree on the final details for the two clubs. Another consequence of this file, Bayern Munich will now intensify its efforts on Désiré Doué in order to bring him from Rennes. It will not be easy once again for the Bavarians. Indeed, they must deal with the competition of … Paris Saint-Germain for the French attacking midfielder.
