Despite interest from RB Leipzig, Paris Saint-Germain has no intention of loaning out Xavi Simons again.
PSG reacquired the young Dutch midfielder Xavi Simons last summer by activating his €6 million buy-back clause. His impressive performances in Germany attracted interest from RB Leipzig to keep him for an additional season.
However, PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi reportedly categorically rejected this proposal. The current strategy of the Parisian club is to integrate Xavi Simons into the squad at the end of this season, and there are even considerations to extend his contract for an additional year upon his return. This decision aligns with Al-Khelaïfi’s long-term planning, viewing Simons not only as an emerging talent but also as a key figure in the event of Kylian Mbappé’s potential departure in the upcoming transfer window.
The refusal to loan Simons to Leipzig suggests that PSG has ambitious plans for the young midfielder upon his return to Paris, emphasizing his importance in the team structure, particularly in light of potential changes in the squad during the next transfer window.
