Left free at PSV Eindhoven last summer, Xavi Simons could find Paris Saint-Germain. The capital club has a clause allowing it to buy the attacking midfielder at an attractive price. But on this file, the ball is only in the camp of the Dutchman.
For Paris Saint-Germain, Xavi Simons is not necessarily a priority during this summer transfer window. The 20-year-old attacking midfielder looks more like a great opportunity. After his free start last summer, the former Parisian is coming off an excellent season with PSV Eindhoven. Anyone who complained about his low playing time in the French capital has clearly turned a corner in recent months.
Xavi Simons sole decision maker
His 19 goals and 9 assists in the league have not escaped Paris Saint-Germain, which has a buyout clause of 12 million euros. This option explains why the Dutch international is so often questioned about his future, including during the rallies of his selection. In a press conference, Xavi Simons therefore wanted to make things clear.
” It’s a clause between PSV Eindhoven and me. Not between Paris Saint-Germain and meclarified the former talent of FC Barcelona. It is a clause according to which, if I wanted to return to PSG, I could leave for a certain amount at the end of the season. To be honest, I don’t think of a departure. I am settled here, I feel good. I think it shows on the pitch as well. »

“Soon I’ll decide together with family. To be honest, it’s not in my head to leave… I have no obligations to anyone. I’m the one who has to make the choice”, he said. pic.twitter.com/PLLKrmLKDT

I am currently with the national team, I will work here for two weeks and then we will see what happens.
