It looks like the story between Xavi Simons and RB Leipzig is coming to an early end. Just one year after his permanent move from Paris Saint-Germain, the Dutch playmaker has reportedly decided to leave this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Strong Numbers, But a Fractured Relationship
Despite recording 9 goals and 7 assists in 32 appearances, Simons’ time in Germany has been marred by criticism over his attitude, with some within the club labeling him as self-centered and underwhelming given his price tag.
With a contract running until 2027, his exit won’t come cheap. Leipzig is expected to demand around €70 million, with Bayern Munich and several Premier League sides ready to pounce.

For PSG, the deal could become a financial win. The French club included a significant sell-on clause in Simons’ contract—meaning a cut of any profit made on his resale would flow back to Paris. With a total transfer package that could reach €81M with bonuses, that percentage could prove very lucrative.
Once hailed as a generational talent, Simons now finds himself at another crossroads—his next step may define his future, while PSG smiles all the way to the bank.
