Xavi Simons didn’t get anywhere at PSG. After 29 games, he was on loan to RB Leipzig in 2023. Neither player nor Bundesliga club have regretted this. Several big clubs have been thirsty to bring the 21-year-old to their squad, but last week RB boss Jürgen Klopp (indirectly) and Leipzig made sure to close the gaps.
RB Leipzig went to great lengths to keep the attacking midfielder with 15 goals and 19 assists in 60 games.

According to German Sky, Bundesliga club PSG paid €50 million at the bottom, then €30 million in potential bonuses for the 21-year-old’s permanent transfer.
This is a player RB Leipzig are really betting on. According to Bild, the club pays Simons 12 million euros annual salary, a new record in the club’s history and thus the history of Red Bull’s football venture.
