Author of 6 goals and 9 assists this season in all competitions with RB Leipzig, Xavi Simons confirms the expectations placed on him very early in his career. Almost world-famous at FC Barcelona, the attacking midfielder especially revealed himself last year at PSV Eindhoven. But in the Bundesliga too, the Dutchman impresses. Alas, Leipzig knows, Xavi Simons is on loan, and will return to Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2024. Still. Asked by BILDRouven Schröder, the sporting director of the RBL, suggested that the club would do everything to keep Xavi Simons at the end of the season.
“I think it’s good to have a little peace and quiet and be content with what we have right now. He suits us perfectly, is a top actor and is also worth his weight in gold for our image. An example: it is always a topic of conversation with the players. People say: ‘If Xavi feels comfortable here, then things must be pretty good at RB’ (laughs). It gives a huge boost to the Leipzig institution. Xavi identifies with us and experiences all of this completely. We just appreciate him being here now. We did everything internally for him to come. We must succeed again”comments Rouven Schröder, who therefore confirms that RB Leipzig will try to play a bad trick on PSG this summer.
