Poker finished
Contract signed! Simons’ future clarified
RB Leipzig can plan another season with Xavi Simons. The Dutch soccer team player has once again been loaned to the German Bundesliga club by French champions Paris Saint-Germain, as announced by the club on Monday.
A purchase option is again not planned. Simons caused a stir in the Bundesliga last season with his striking dribbles. In 43 games for RB, he scored ten goals and provided 15 assists.
"Difference player"
"Xavi has shown in many games and not least at EURO 2024 that he is a difference-maker," said new RB Sport managing director Marcel Schäfer. A poker game had broken out over the 21-year-old in recent weeks. RB wanted to loan him out again, but FC Bayern also wanted to secure the services of the difference-maker. Most recently, Manchester United also expressed an interest. However, Simons, whose contract at PSG runs until 2027, opted once again for the Saxons, who have three Austrian team players under contract: Christoph Baumgartner, Nicolas Seiwald and the injured Xaver Schlager.
The guarantee of a regular place with coach Marco Rose and the many freedoms he was given in the RB system were a factor.
