This is one of the big issues that PSG must manage this summer. What to do with Xavi Simons? One thing is certain for the moment, the player does not really want to play in Paris next season, as revealed by us. In recent weeks, some information even suggested the possibility of seeing him stay one more season in Leipzig where he was a success this season. The idea of taking a step forward with a club that he knows and where he is certain to be a starter appeals to the player trained at La Masia, who prioritizes his playing time and his progress.
At the same time, other big European clubs are on the lookout, such as Bayern and several English big names. And obviously, the interest of the Bavarian club is very serious. Sports Bild explains that Simons is the big goal of the Munich ogre, with sporting director Max Eberl who knows him very well since it was he who brought him to Leipzig.
A crazy price?
He is considered one of the future best players in the world and represents the future of the club with Musiala, to quote the German newspaper word for word. But above all, the media explains to us that PSG could pocket a huge jackpot, since its transfer could be concluded around 100 million euros.
A sum that Bayern is ready to put on the table, as it did for Harry Kane just a year ago. For PSG, it would be a superb financial operation and a huge added value (he arrived free from Barça in 2019), especially in the rather vague context surrounding French football and its TV rights, even if PSV will recover a non-negligible percentage on its sale thanks to a clause.
