Xavi Simons on the move! Netherlands star tells PSG he will leave the club amid interest from Harry Kane's Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig

During the 2023-24 season, Xavi Simons made a significant impact while on loan at RB Leipzig. The 21-year-old Dutch midfielder showcased his talent by scoring eight goals and providing 11 assists in the Bundesliga. Additionally, he contributed two goals and two assists in the Champions League, further elevating his profile. His performances have drawn the attention of major clubs, positioning him as a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/barcelona-give-up-bayern-all-clear-xavi-simons-psg-sell-netherlands/bltd6ea6f5e59691cfa" target="_blank">sought-after prospect in the transfer market.</a>

WHAT HAPPENED?

According to <a href="https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1804589962542592395" target="_blank">Fabrizio Romano</a>, Simons plans to leave PSG on a loan deal until June 2025, with Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig keen on securing his services. While Bayern view him as a valuable addition to their squad, Leipzig are eager to retain the midfielder following his impressive loan spell. Moreover, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-arsenal-battle-bayern-psg-xavi-simons-impressive-season-rb-leipzig/bltef12a4949a27d01f" target="_blank">Arsenal and Manchester United were also linked with a move</a> for the midfielder. And the competition between these two Bundesliga giants underscores Simons' rising stock in European football.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

After a 0-0 draw against France in the European Championships, Simons addressed his future. He expressed satisfaction with his time at PSG and Leipzig but remained non-committal about his next move. "I was happy in Paris," Simons said, as reported by French journalist JS Grond-Tran. "I was in Leipzig this year, we’ll see after the Euro. I also see that the supporters always wish me the best, and that’s good".

WHAT SIMONS SAID

Simons' future at <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/barcelona-psg-issue-summer-deal-xavi-simons/blt5e5e7802b5c948c5" target="_blank">PSG has been a topic of speculation. </a>While the club recognises his potential, they face a challenging decision. PSG's new manager, Luis Enrique, is an admirer of Simons but cannot guarantee him regular playing time in the upcoming season. Given this uncertainty, PSG also allegedly consider that a loan move would be a viable option for both parties.

DID YOU KNOW?

At Bayern, he would join a squad with high ambitions and the opportunity to develop under top-tier management. Whereas, at Leipzig, he would continue his growth in a familiar environment, with the potential for more consistent playing time. While both scenarios offer promising prospects for Simons, the midfielder remains focused on the ongoing Euro 2024 and will be back in action against Austria on June 25 in the Netherlands' final group-stage match.
