Xavi Simons has already made everyone agree at RB Leipzig. Loaned without a purchase option by PSG, the Dutch attacking midfielder has been a hit since the start of the season with 3 goals and 5 assists in just 3 Bundesliga matches. Also decisive in the Champions League against Young Boys of Bern, the former Barcelona Masia player could stay in Germany for the long term. In any case, this is the wish of its leaders.
“Of course we intend to extend it in the best case scenario,” the Saxon club’s sporting director Max Eberl told Kicker. Xavi got off to a very good start and is currently having a very good season. I think we are currently linking him emotionally to RB Leipzig.”
Last summer, PSG decided to activate its buyout clause of 6 million euros after his excellent performance under the jersey of PSV Eindhoven. “After all, sometimes surprising things happen during a season. We are trying to make sure he stays with us longer in the summer of 2024.” hopes the German leader. It remains to be seen whether PSG, undoubtedly very attentive to Simons’ performances, will hear it that way.
