Last season, Xavi Simons caught everyone's attention with his impressive performance while on loan at RB Leipzig. However, the young footballer has now returned to Paris Saint-Germain, where he signed a contract in 2021. Despite being happy with his current team, Simons has decided to postpone any decisions about his future until after the Netherlands' Euro 2024 campaign.
As a product of Barcelona's academy, the 21-year-old has already made a name for himself in the football world. His exceptional 2022/23 season with PSV Eindhoven, where he scored 22 goals, led PSG to activate their buyback clause of £5million in his contract. He was then immediately sent on loan to RB Leipzig, where he continued to impress with eight goals and 11 assists in the Bundesliga.
However, Simons' future remains uncertain as he has yet to establish himself in the Parisian club. Rumors have been circulating that he may be leaving for a big-money move in the summer transfer window. Teams such as Arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich have all reportedly shown interest in the young attacker.
During a recent interview after the Netherlands' goalless draw with France at Euro 2024, Simons addressed his situation by saying, "My future? I don't know yet. I'm here, happy, with my national team. We'll see after the Euros what happens. Do I want to return to Paris? I was happy in Paris, things happened. I was at Leipzig this season. After the Euros, we'll see. I also see that the fans always wish me the best, and that's good."
According to reports, nothing has been decided between Simons and PSG, and another loan seems to be the most likely scenario for the upcoming season. The young footballer, who is valued at around £51m by the French club, is currently away on international duty with the Netherlands at Euro 2024.
When asked about Simons' future, PSG head coach Luis Enrique preferred to avoid the topic, stating, "I have a rule not to talk about players who are not at the club at the moment, who are elsewhere. This is a player on loan who I already commented on at the time. I have nothing new to say at the moment."
As the speculation continues to grow, Simons remains focused on his performance on the field, and fans can only hope for the best for the talented player.
