Paris Saint-Germain can rub its hands. This winter, the residents of the Parc des Princes definitely separated from Xavi Simons, for which the RB Leipzig signed a large check of € 80 million, bonus included. But these are easily achievable. A great operation for the champions of France, but also for the main interested party, which receives the biggest salary in the history of the club according to Bildor a tidy sum of € 13 million per year. On the German side, we welcomed ourselves to having managed to keep a great talent, which was nevertheless courted by a dozen large European clubs. But while this union was apparently cloudless, the sky has been dark in recent times.
This Monday, Bild assures that “Things don't go well at RB Leipzig”. Collectively, first of all, the team's results are not up to expectations. Sixth in the ranking and a few lengths from the qualifying places for the next Champions League, Leipzig has a 10 victories, 9 draws and 6 losses. In addition, it should be noted that the teammates of LoĂŻs Openda remain on only 3 successes during their last 10 outings in the Bundesliga. Several reasons explain this, including the bankruptcy of certain executives. This is the case of Xavi Simons (7 goals, 4 assists in 24 appearances all competitions this season, 23 tenures), which is pointed out this Monday by Monday by Bild.
Star behavior that does not pass
The German media writes about it: “For weeks, Simons was not up to his claims and his position in the foreground in the team. He does not decide matches, but has become more and more an uncertainty factor on the account of the goals conceded. ” Bild Add that his teammates feel it and that it causes trouble in the locker room. In Leipzig, it is estimated that the Dutch weaken and that he would need a break like Openda but he has his place in the eleven of already assured. To make sure nothing but his behavior makes people talk. Indeed, Bild indicates that his great self -confidence is problematic.
It is also difficult to give it advice or reprimand it. In addition, he does what he wants in the field as outside. Bild reveals that the player and his numerous advisers cancel the operations organized by the club with the media or sponsors. Diva behavior which exasperates at the highest point internally. Moreover, some RBL members had advised leaders to recruit him definitively, believing that he does not have a good attitude. In addition, they think that we should not invest so much on this player, who is not worthy of being the one who embodies the image of the club. The marriage between Xavi Simons and Leipzig has barely started, that it already smells of divorce between part of the club and him.
