Quite surprising, not to say shocking news, coming from France! Renowned Radio Monte Carlo (RMC) claims that Xavi Simons (21) will not play in Paris Saint-Germain next season. Many experts in the football market were convinced that the departure of Kylian Mbappe opens up space for the return of the great offensive midfielder to the Parc des Princes; in support of that, he also spoke about extending his cooperation with the Parisians until 2027, before he went on loan to RB Leipzig, however, according to the latest information, the 21-year-old Dutchman is significantly closer to a final transfer or a new loan than a serious role in Luis Enrique’s team.Or, to be more precise, Simons has not shown a real desire to return to Paris, and the people from the club management, despite the fact that the player fits into the plans of the Spanish coach, do not want to put pressure on him. It is said to be part of Nasser Al Khelaifi’s new strategy, which, among other things, means that only those players who really want to wear the Saints shirt with all their heart. All in an attempt to finally build a healthy environment in the popular club, as a foundation for a new beginning.##NAJAVA_MECA_8094748##Logically, the question arises, what will happen to one of the most talented players today?”According to our knowledge, PSG have already started negotiations regarding the transfer of Xavi Simons to the German club. The deal is far from concluded, but one thing is certain – he will not appear at the beginning of the pre-season. Luis Enrique appreciates Simons’ qualities and knows him well, but since the player and his environment are not enthusiastic about the idea of him continuing his career in Paris, the club does not intend to force such a scenario,” the RMC article states.”For the last few hours, the Catalan press has also mentioned the possibility of a new loan to Barcelona, the club where the player grew up in the younger categories. However, it is difficult to imagine such a thing at the moment, primarily due to Barca’s delicate financial situation. So, the transfer to Leipzig in the coming weeks seems like the most likely option.”For now, RMC does not mention any numbers, so the question of how the German club could get a player whose price has jumped to 80,000,000 euros is open. True, there is information that Simons also has a say about the contract concluded with the Parisians, but this should primarily refer to loans.🔴 Xavi Simons ne reviendra pas à Paris cet été.
