PSV took everyone by surprise on Sunday morning. The Dutch club revealed, to everyone’s surprise, that Xavi Simons was leaving for Paris. Admittedly, there had been strong rumors in the past about PSG’s strong interest in the player who left just a year ago, but the Dutch international did not seem to be one of the priority tracks at the moment.
His buyout option of 6 million euros was thus activated by the Parisians. Only, what to do with him? There are two options for the player trained at La Masia: stay in Paris and try to impose himself. Or go on loan to continue to progress, which seems to be the most likely option at the moment, and an agreement with RB Leipzig has already been reached for Simons to spend the season there.
A future in England?
Only, as the daily explains The Team this Monday morning, there is a club that wants to spoil the plans of PSG and the German club. This club is Manchester United. The Mancunians have tried to recruit him directly from PSV in recent weeks, without success. And they obviously haven’t given up on the idea of enlisting him.
The Red Devils are now hoping to convince Paris Saint-Germain to loan them out, with option to buy and possibly option to buy out for the Parisians. For his part, the player is a bit in the dark, and only wants to stay in Paris if Luis Enrique guarantees him playing time. Again, everything risks depending on the future of players like Mbappé or Neymar. But one thing is certain, still according to the media, PSG are counting heavily on Simons for the future.
