Xavi Simons' future, PSG loan or big transfer?
The summer saga for PSG undoubtedly revolves around Xavi Simons. While the player seems clear about his desire not to wear the Rouge & Bleu jersey next season, Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig continue to vie for his signature.
Xavi Simons' career choices have so far been guided by the importance of playing time. This is evidenced by his two consecutive loans to PSV Eindhoven and RB Leipzig. With the Red Bull club, the 21-year-old Dutchman played in the Champions League up to the Round of 16 against Real Madrid and in Euro 2024 until the semifinals against England.
These journeys, combined with his personal season performance (43 matches, 10 goals, and 15 assists), could lead Xavi Simons to a significant turning point in his career. Recent reports from the press in France and internationally suggest a fierce battle between Manchester United, Bayern Munich, and RB Leipzig to secure the Parisian talent for next season. Under contract with PSG until 2027, Xavi Simons remains uncertain about his future.

Xavi Simons' future, PSG loan or big transfer?
In Spain, the newspaper Sport mentions the possibility of the Red Devils entering the fray with an offer that could reach €100M. For Bayern Munich, the priority appears to be Desire Doue, as indicated by their second offer for the Stade Rennais player at €55M. In this context, and according to Fabrizio Romano, "RB Leipzig is now confident of getting the green light for Xavi Simons."
In this matter, according to the Italian transfer market expert, PSG is still not open to a sale and prefers a loan. This option has RB Leipzig feeling optimistic. The Bundesliga club's president, Oliver Mintzlaff, is personally negotiating to secure a second consecutive loan for the Dutchman.
