Dutch attacking talent Xavi Simons is set to return to Paris St. Germain. However, the 20-year-old could be loaned out for the coming season. RB Leipzig is said to be in pole position.
Paris St. Germain appear to be making plans for Xavi Simons in the future, but in the medium term the Netherlands international is expected to gain match practice elsewhere. In any case, this explains what transfer insider Fabrizio Romano reported on Twitter on Sunday.
Loan if Neymar and Mbappe stay
On the one hand, Romano reports that PSG will exercise a €6m buyback option that was contractually agreed when Simons joined PSV Eindhoven on a free transfer last year. However, Simons should be loaned out if Kylian Mbappe and Neymar spend the 2023/24 season at Prinzenpark.
Will RB Leipzig be awarded the contract?
Simons is said to have sparked the interest of numerous clubs, including reigning DFB Cup winners RB Leipzig. The Bundesliga club is even the favorite for a loan commitment, according to Romano. As early as Tuesday, it is said, a decision could be made as to whether Simons will go on the hunt for goals for the Red Bulls. Should he continue his performances for PSV Eindhoven (48 games, 22 goals, 12 assists), he could help replace top scorer Christopher Nkunku who has moved to Chelsea; however, it would only be a temporary solution.
