On January 30, the RB Leipzig released € 50 million (excluding bonus) to afford all of the sporting and economic rights of Xavi Simons.

Recruited in January 2025, Simons completed an exercise 24/25 with 11 goals and 8 assists in 33 matches and will therefore fold luggage eight months after her transfer to get involved in favor of Tottenham.
