Xavi Simons made a splash at Euro 2024 this summer, scoring a stunning goal for the Netherlands in the semi-final against England. However, the 21-year-old winger has been much more discreet about his club future.
Since Monday morning, there is no longer any doubt: the Amsterdam native is once again on loan to RB Leipzig, without an option to buy.
“I got everything I wanted at Leipzig. I joined a great team and felt that everyone had faith in me. I was able to develop both as a player and as a person. RB Leipzig is the perfect place for that.”reacted the Dutch international on the official website of the German club.
Xavi Simons, “a clear plan” in Leipzig
“The club really likes me and has made it clear in recent months that it wants to sign me, continues the one who belongs to PSG until 2027. They have put forward a clear and concise plan for the coming season. I feel at home in Leipzig and I am very happy to be able to play another year for this club and its supporters.”
According to The Team of this Monday, Xavi Simons would have demanded to have a leader status as well as a significant playing time to return to the reigning French champion. Something that Luis Enrique was not able to guarantee him. Last season, in 41 games played with Leipzig, all competitions combined, he scored ten goals and delivered fourteen assists.
