Xavi Simons is back at RB Leipzig. This Monday, the German club made official the return of the Dutch attacking midfielder to the Red Bull Arena. Still tied to Paris Saint-Germain until June 2027, the Amsterdammer will thus begin a second season on loan without an option to buy with the Bundesliga resident.
Last season, the young Dutch star had a promising season with 10 goals and 15 assists in 43 appearances. Simons, who turned down offers from Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund, explained his decision to continue with the Roten Bullen in Saxony.
The choice of the heart
“I got everything I wanted at Leipzig. I joined a great team and felt that everyone had faith in me. I was able to develop both as a player and as a person. RB Leipzig is the perfect place for that,” Simons said on the RBL’s official website.
“In addition, the club values me very much and has made it clear in recent months that they want to sign me. They have put forward a clear and concise plan for the coming season. I feel at home in Leipzig and I am very happy to be able to play another year for this club and its supporters.”we can also read.
