Where will Xavi Simons play next season? This is the question asked by many observers in recent hours. Impressive in the colors of PSV Eindhoven during the previous year, the Dutch attacking midfielder finally returned to the French capital this summer. A short-lived return for the Batavian since Paris Saint-Germain decided to immediately lend their jewel to RB Leipzig. Now under contract until June 2024 with the German team, the Amsterdam native is adapting, in any case, perfectly to his new environment.
With 3 goals and 4 assists in 11 matches in all competitions, the 20-year-old player – who is preparing to return to the French team as part of the Euro 2024 qualifiers on Friday evening – is the delight of the club German. But for how long ? In the last hours, The Parisian also indicated that all options still seemed open. From a return to Paris to an extension of a loan – which Leipzig already wants – including a big sale in the coming months, no one really knows what the future of the Dutch nugget will hold. The French daily also specified that his future could be linked to that of Kylian Mbappé since Luis Campos considers that the Dutchman plays in the same area as the Bondynois and would therefore need playing time to continue his progress.
PSG cannot (yet) consider a sale!
In full bloom and at a time when certain rumors were already suggesting an extended lease for number 20 of the RBL)(https://www.footmercato.net/a3759688014059055239-letrange-decision-du-psg-concernant-xavi-simons) , however, one clause could change everything! Indeed, The Team claims this Friday that clauses signed at the time of the player’s buyout stipulate that Xavi Simons cannot be sold before a certain date “which has not yet been achieved”. Worse still, if the Parisians were to sell their nugget before this limit, the sum collected would go to PSV Eindhoven.
A clause which therefore blocks the upper echelons of the Ile-de-France region and which should, logically, prevent the reigning French champions from considering a major sale during the next summer transfer window. It remains to be seen whether the Rouge et Bleu board plans to part with its star in the coming months. With the possible departure of Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid next summer and in line with the analysis made by Luis Campos, PSG could, in fact, decide to repatriate their protégé. One thing is certain, the soap opera has started and the next transfer market may bring new clues. As a reminder, the number 7 of the capital club will be free to discuss with the club of his choice from January 2024…
