Author of a very good start to the season, Xavi Simons will have already convinced the leaders of Leipzig to recruit him at the end of the season.
As he demonstrated against theOlympic Marseille Sunday evening, Paris Saint Germain has an effective and dangerous offensive strike force when in good conditions.

A sufficient start to convince the leaders of the German club to keep him at the end of the season. But Simons’ loan does not contain a purchase option, which does not prevent sporting director Max Eberl from aiming to extend the 20-year-old player. “ Of course, we intend to extend it in the best case scenario. Xavi has had a very good start, he is bonding emotionally with the club. We will try to ensure that he stays with us longer next summer”he explained in an interview with Kicker. It remains to be seen whether PSG will be willing to listen to RBL’s offers and whether the player will want to stay in Germany.
