Loaned to RB Leipzig by PSG, Xavi Simons sees no further than the clash against Bayern Munich on Saturday.
It floats like an air of déjà vu for Xavi Simons. Like at PSV Eindhoven last season, the Dutch international should only move to RB Leipzig. The former Barcelona player is in fact only on loan from PSG. A loan without purchase option.
However, the German club already dreams of keeping the Amsterdam native. “ Of course, we intend to extend it in the best case scenario. Xavi got off to a very good start and is currently having a very good season. I think we tie him emotionally to RB Leipzig,” he recently confided. Max Eberl, the sporting director of the German club.
The comments were not to the taste of Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, who does not intend to let his player leave, and Xavi Simons was left with having to give his feelings on the subject during an interview with Sky. But the Dutch midfielder took care to kick into touch.
“ I already feel at home. I enjoy my time here, I enjoy playing here. I want to succeed and leave my mark on the club. In football, you can’t predict anything. Nobody knows what will happen in a few months. But for now, I’m focusing on Saturday evening.” he said in reference to the clash against Bayern.
