Where will Xavi Simons (21) play next season? This is the great mystery and difficult to see clearly in this matter. In recent hours, new information from Spain and then Germany has cast even more doubt on the future of the young Batavian attacking midfielder. As a reminder, Simons is currently on loan from Paris Saint-Germain to RB Leipzig, but without a purchase option.
The Dutchman is having fun on the other side of the Rhine (9 goals, 15 assists in 42 matches, all competitions), but he is under contract with PSG until June 2027. The RBL does not hide his desire to keep the player, but the Catalan press recently assured that FC Barcelona was also on the case and that Simons would have decided to return to Catalonia, where he was trained. Who will have the last word ?
Simons has doubts about PSG
Sports Bild came to put a coin in the machine by affirming that the player wanted to join a team over the next two years where he plays a major role. However, according to the German media, Simons would have doubts about the possibility of seeing this scenario come true at PSG. The capital club knows that the RBL is doing everything to keep the Batavian and that the Bundesliga team will return once the 2023/2024 season is over.
But will Paris really be inclined to negotiate a new loan or even a transfer? Often asked about Simons, Luis Enrique has repeatedly said that he appreciates the player. Sports Bild assures, however, that Leipzig has its chances in this matter. The newspaper even estimates that if the player expresses his desire to stay at the RBL, German managers think that a two-year loan can be done. Finally, if the player wishes to stay permanently in Germany, a transfer of around €60 million would be an option. Who’s telling the truth? To be continued in the next episode.
