Since his arrival in the summer of 2023, Xavi Simons has been one of the best players in the RB Leipzig. Initially loaned by Paris Saint-Germain, the Dutch attacking midfielder was still loaned at the start of the season, because he did not want to go back to play in Paris and felt well in Leipzig after an excellent first year. A daring choice which finally led to a final transfer: on January 30, the RB Leipzig announced that it had reached an agreement around 80 million euros to enlist the former great hope of the Masia until 2027. A shock transfer which had caused the frustration of many Parisian supporters, who had just seen one of their greatest hopes for their eyes.
But while the story seemed idyllic with the RB Leipzig which had made monster efforts to keep it, it is clear that the second season of the Dutch prodigy does not take place as planned on the other side of the Rhine. Even in the Bundesliga, Rasenballsport is in a disappointing fifth and also carried out a regular regular season campaign in the Champions League, finishing 32nd out of 36 teams. A frustrating season during which German fans have sought culprits at the origin of this mixture. Therefore, Xavi Simons was seriously scratched in Germany and its future with the RB Leipzig has become uncertain.

Even if his final recruitment last January meant that Leipzig wanted to build the future with the 21 -year -old batavian as the cornerstone of his project, his performance, deemed insufficient (8 goals and 5 assists in 21 matches), and her attitude of Diva who tense internally, have greatly rebatted the cards. Thus, the RB Leipzig has, according to Sky Germanylaid down its conditions to consider a departure from the native of Amsterdam this summer. At first, Leipzig claims 80 million euros, the sum that the club has invested in order to enlist it, in order to release Xavi Simons next summer.
According to the German press, the player absolutely wants to play the Champions League next season. Currently fifth in the Bundesliga, the RB Leizpig is not sure to compete in the most prestigious of European competitions in 2025-2026 and this could throw a huge cold on the future of Xavi Simons. But now, while its price has been set at 80 million euros, the former PSV Eindhoven does not want to leave Germany to go to a less, even competitive as Leipzig club. The media from across the Rhine claims that Xavi Simons would seek to make a real leap in his career and does not intend to rush if no attractive offer presents itself.
