Xavi Simons, 21, still belongs to Paris Saint-Germain. On loan to Leipzig, the player is still unsure of his future. As revealed by Bild, two clubs are competing for the Dutch talent, Leipzig and Liverpool. However, the German club is unwilling to pay the 80 million euros demanded by PSG.
“Liverpool Leipzig!
The two clubs are in competition to recruit Xavi Simons!
Leipzig would be willing to pay a substantial sum: €50m + €20m bonus.
PSG wants around 80M€. This is too high for Leipzig.

Xavi Simons’ complicated relationship with PSG resembles a soccer soap opera. Having arrived with high expectations, his career was stalled by a lack of opportunities in Paris. On loan to RB Leipzig, he finally demonstrated his potential, highlighting PSG’s problems in managing young talent.
Under Arne Slot, Liverpool now appear an attractive option for Simons, offering an attractive sporting project and regular playing time at a club known for its winning culture.
Selling Simons for €80 million could be a financial success for PSG, turning a tumultuous relationship into an economic triumph and making room for other young talents. Ultimately, Simons’ choice of Liverpool or elsewhere could be crucial to his career and PSG’s future.
