But where will Xavi Simons (21 years old) play this season? The only certainty is that it will not be at PSG, who are preparing to loan him out again. Bayern Munich were in the lead in recent days for a loan with obligation to buy but RB Leipzig have come back in force in this case. “We hope he comes back (…) Although he does not belong to us, as far as I am concerned, Xavi is an RB Leipzig player”Marco Rose even said at the end of last season. A message heard by the main person concerned.
According to Imagethe midfielder will make his choice in the coming hours and the balance is now leaning towards the RBL, where he had already been loaned last season. The Dutchman left very good memories at the German club (43 matches in all competitions, 10 goals and 15 assists). He has not left the various Whatsapp conversations in the locker room, as if he had never left. He knows that he will be guaranteed a starting place, something impossible at Bayern Munich and its competitive squad.
Xavi Simons wants to join RB Leipzig
RB Leipzig is also pressing for another reason. Dani Olmo is on the way out, possibly to FC Barcelona but more likely to Manchester City, as we revealed today. Losing both playmakers in the same offseason puts Marco Rose and his technical staff at risk. The Parisian confirms this trend in its columns, and indicates that it would be a dry loan, that is to say without an option to buy. This solution would allow PSG to keep control for a probable definitive sale in the summer of 2025 (Xavi Simons is under contract in Paris until 2027).
All that remains to be done is to make all this a reality. Negotiations have reportedly not progressed for some time between the French club and Leipzig, according to a report Image. The fault lies mainly with the Parisians who want to bring in a major reinforcement up front after the departure of Kylian Mbappé for free to Real Madrid. Once this offensive transfer is completed (Osimhen? Désiré Doué), they will be able to let Xavi Simons live his German dream. Currently on vacation in the south of France, the Oranje international does not even know where he will have to resume training.
