Where will Xavi Simons play next season? For the moment, it’s difficult to say as the Dutch attacking midfielder (15 caps, 1 goal) finds himself at the heart of the rumors. Loaned to RB Leipzig by Paris Saint-Germain, the person concerned would like to stay across the Rhine, moreover after his good season punctuated by 8 goals and 11 assists in 32 league matches. Yes, but there it is, its interesting performance inevitably attracts the competition and complicates the situation. With this in mind, Bayern Munich has decided to take action by starting concrete negotiations with the club from the French capital.
The idea? Enlist the native of Amsterdam in the form of a loan with obligation to purchase. While the 21-year-old player is inexorably moving away from the City of Lights – despite Luis Enrique’s recent laudatory statements about him – the main person concerned has finally decided to break his silence. Questioned in the mixed zone, a few moments after the draw (0-0) between the French team and the Netherlands – a meeting where the Batavian almost broke the deadlock before seeing his goal refused for an off position – game by Denzel Dumfries – Simons has, in fact, spoken about his future.
Simons maintains the vagueness…
“I don’t know. For now, I’m happy with my selection, after the Euro, we’ll see what happens.”, first confided the 1m79 right-hander who played for PSV Eindhoven. A media release echoing the comments made by Clarence Seedorf, former Dutch player, a few minutes earlier:“Xavi is one of the best European talents, I am very happy that he continues at PSG”had notably assured the former AC Milan midfielder. “If I want to come back? I was happy in Paris. There are things that happened, but still. I was in Leipzig this year. After the Euro, we’ll see. I also see that the supporters wish me the best all the time. It will be good”then retorted the one who sees his contract run until June 2027 with the reigning French champions.
Refusing to say more, the number 20 of RB Leipzig has in any case left doubts about his future. Enough to maintain total uncertainty, despite Bavarian optimism in this matter. In the sights of the last 3rd of the Bundesliga, ready to formulate a loan offer with obligation to purchase, between 60 and 70 M€, Simons also remains in the small papers of RB Leipzig, determined to continue the adventure with Dutch crack. As for PSG and if we revealed to you that the person concerned did not necessarily seem ready to make his return to France, the door does not seem completely closed. One thing is certain, this series has not yet delivered its verdict and each contender intends to do well…
