Paris Saint-Germain announced a new summer reinforcement this Sunday.
The announcement was not necessarily expected in recent days. But it confirms the ambitions of Paris Saint-Germain, determined to restore its image this season, after a very delicate campaign. This Sunday, PSV Eindhoven confirmed the departure of Xavi Simons, who therefore returns to Paris after seeing the capital club activate a buyout option.
In his native country, Xavi Simons has definitely exploded at the highest level. The attacking midfielder delivered a very high-flying statistical copy, finishing top scorer in the Dutch league with 19 goals. A total to which are added 8 assists in the Eredivisie.
PSG begins the big maneuvers
Paris Saint-Germain therefore finds a player who has nothing to do with the somewhat tender hope that had been ceded to PSV. The experience in the Netherlands has therefore been optimized. But it now remains to know the future of the one who became Dutch international this season.
As indicated earlier today by transfer window specialist Fabrizio Romano, the immediate future of Xavi Simons would be greatly linked to that of the two superstars, Kylian Mbappé and Neymar. If PSG manage to keep both, a loan will be considered, but in a different form. A purchase option would not necessarily be included. And a team would emerge to give the Barcelona nugget some playing time: RB Leipzig.
