- PSG activated buy-back clause
- French side will pay €6m
- Netherlands international could go out on loan
WHAT HAPPENED? The 20-year-old will leave the Dutch side after one season as PSG have activated their option to buy him back at a cut price, PSV confirmed on Sunday.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Simons initially joined PSG from Barcelona in 2019 but featured just 11 times for the French champions before joining PSV last summer. The Netherlands international excelled in Eindhoven, though, scoring 19 goals and setting up a further eight in 34 Eredivisie appearances. According to Fabrizio Romano, he will stay at PSG if either Kylian Mbappe or Neymar leave. If both players remain in the French capital, Simons will be sent out on loan.
