Is Xavi Simons leaving PSG for another year at RB Leipzig?

His contract with Paris Saint-Germain appears to be a complicated contractual arrangement. In this context, the summer transfer window of 2024 has arrived, and the player's future remains uncertain.

He has long been linked to Bayern Munich since announcing his desire not to stay in Paris. However, the Bavarians have faced complicated negotiations in this complex matter. Recently, transfer market specialist Fabrizio Romano mentioned the prevailing confidence on the side of RB Leipzig to conclude a deal with PSG and Xavi Simons, ensuring the 21-year-old player will stay for a second consecutive season.

This confidence is confirmed by the Italian journalist, who stated, "RB Leipzig remains extremely confident and optimistic about the agreement with Xavi Simons." Similarly, German colleagues from BILD claim that "Xavi Simons' final decision on where he will play next season is imminent. RB Leipzig has almost certainly won the race for the player." Xavi Simons has clearly expressed his desire to wear RB Leipzig's jersey again, mainly due to the promised playing time, which is the primary criterion for his choice.

As this matter seems to conclude in favor of RB Leipzig, Bayern Munich faces a failed transfer. This setback in the transfer market might explain Bayern's strong determination to win their battle against PSG over Desire Doue.

If RB Leipzig indeed becomes Xavi Simons' destination, more details are provided by our colleagues from Le Parisien. They claim that the Parisian talent will join the Bundesliga club on another dry loan. This solution allows Paris Saint-Germain to retain control for a resale next summer. The idea is not to lose 60% of any potential resale if it happens in the summer of 2024 and to have full control and 100% of the sale in the summer of 2025.
