At the end of a 2021-2022 exercise where he played little (only 7 appearances in all competitions), the Dutch midfielder refused to extend his contract with PSG and opted for a return to the country before earning money. playing time. A choice that paid off as he completed a remarkable season with PSV Eindhoven by finishing co-top scorer in the Dutch league with 19 goals for 8 in 34 appearances. Sparkling performances which have enough to sweep away the skepticism of the Parisian leaders, ready to jostle to repatriate the Batavian within the club of the capital.
This Friday, Rif Elfrink, Dutch journalist for the Eidhovens Dagbla, reports that PSG are currently throwing their last strength into the battle to bring the Dutch international back as negotiations have intensified with the player’s entourage. The Paris management haven’t given up because when he moved to Eindhoven last summer, a buyout clause was included in the 20-year-old’s contract. But this requires the approval of the player in person. Vice-champion of Eredivisie, PSV Eindhoven is not yet guaranteed to play in the Champions League next season and will have to go through the play-offs, unlike the French club. A data to take into account for Xavi Simons even if this one is categorical: he does not want to play the doubles. It remains to be seen whether PSG are willing to promise him a good place in their workforce and may have to be convincing to hope that the Dutch club let go of their talented attacking midfielder. As a reminder, Xavi Simons is linked with PSV Eindhoven until 2027.
