Xavi Simons Doesn’t Want to Stay at PSG, Complications Arise for Désiré Doué

Xavi Simons, under contract with PSG until 2027, has decided to leave the club. This decision is expected to complicate the pursuit of Désiré Doué.

After spending last season on loan at RB Leipzig, Xavi Simons might stay there. Bayern Munich remains determined and continues its efforts to acquire him, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.

However, a return to PSG now seems completely off the table. Xavi Simons wants to be loaned out again, as reported by Florian Pettenberg of Sky Sports Germany.

Kicker reports that the Leipzig president has stated they will do everything possible to keep Simons. He is expected to make a decision about his future this week, with RB Leipzig remaining optimistic about a positive outcome. The Leipzig president expressed optimism about the Simons situation: “At this moment, I cannot promise that he will resume training after the American tour in Leipzig. But I can promise you that we will have done everything to keep him at Leipzig,” he said in Kicker.

Battle for Désiré Doué

This scenario complicates matters for PSG, as they now face competition from Bayern Munich for Désiré Doué. The German club initially targeted Xavi Simons with Doué as a backup plan. With Simons leaning towards staying at Leipzig, the competition will intensify for Doué.
