Xavi Simons will return to PSG at the end of the season. The Dutchman should finally be able to win there.
Paris Saint-Germain will probably be able to console themselves for the departure of Kylian Mbappé with another great talent in European football. And he knows it better than anyone! Xavi Simons, loaned this season to Leipzig, where he has already compiled 6 goals and 7 assists after playing in the Dutch championship in 2022-2023, will return to Paris. In any case, this is what Rouven Schröder, the sporting director of RB Leipzig, said on Sunday at Sky Deutschland.
“Xavi will return to PSG at the end of the season. It’s not an 18 month loan. We will have the possibility of offering a new loan next season, but I am not optimistic. It will depend on Paris and what they want to do after the Mbappé saga.”
A future star to replace the stars
The time has perhaps come for the Dutchman, who will celebrate his 21st birthday in April, to make his mark in the capital club, after appearing only 11 times in a team then made up of a constellation of stars.
With the departure of Mbappé, which follows those last summer of Neymar and Messi, the situation has already changed and will change even more. Paris, with Luis Enrique at its head, will not hesitate to trust him and install him as a starter next season.
Simons, whose talent no longer needs to be proven after his phenomenal time at PSV and his performances in the national team, where he was the youngest Dutch player at the last World Cup, had never closed the door to a return to PSG. Unless plans change, this will be the case in a few months and its story with the City of Lights can really begin. Xavi Simons was recruited at the age of 16, in 2019, when he was a resident of FC Barcelona’s Masia.
