The story between PSG and Xavi Simons led to a reasonably brutal approach, with a closing switch final January, barely six months when he refused to reintegrate the Parisian workforce for the 2024/2025 season whereas the membership was prepared to provide it a spot. However the love story between the RB Leipzig and Xavi Simons doesn’t appear to be a lot better, two years after his arrival on mortgage and 6 months after being purchased for 50 million euros.
The RB Leipzig season was difficult on all factors, with a catastrophic course within the Champions League throughout which Xavi Simons didn’t shine, and it isn’t the seventh closing place within the Bundesliga which deprives the RBL of any European competitors for 2025/2026 which softened the tip of the yr.
