More than a simple wish, it is a real strategy that the former PSG, Xavi Simons, implements to join the Premier League. The young 22 -year -old Dutch international joined his team one of the most influential agents on the English market: Ali Barat. A strong choice, revealing its clear ambition to cross the Channel. Barat, known for having orchestrated major transfers like that of Moisés Caicedo in Chelsea or, more recently, from Dean Huijsen to Real Madrid, joined Faustino Simons, the usual brother and representative of the player. This weight reinforcement aims to accelerate discussions with Premier League Cadors. It remains to be seen which ones.
Xavi Simons wants to move. Despite a contract which runs until 2027 with the RB Leipzig and a rather correct season on an individual level (11 goals and 8 assists), the former Parisian seems determined to turn the German page. Leipzig, not qualified for European competitions during the year 2025-2026, no longer offers the project hoped for by the player. And in England, there is no shortage of contenders: Chelsea, very active on the file, would have already started discussions. Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester United also remain on the lookout, according to the German press. But a major problem slows down: its price. Indeed, Leipzig would expect between 61 and 70 million euros to let go of his nugget, an amount that for the moment cools several clubs. But with Ali Barat now at the helm, the file could quickly accelerate. Proof that for Xavi Simons, England is no longer an option, it is now its goal.
