Xavi Simons before change: focus on top English clubs!

Leipzig, Deutschland - The swap rumors about the talented Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig make the round again. According to a recent report by Football transfers , the speculation has cooled down, but the environment of the 22-year-old offensive player remains actively looking for a new club. Simons' older brother and consultant, Faustino Simons, is currently under discussions with various interested parties, especially from the English Premier League.

The list of potential customers reads like a who-is-who of international football: Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United, FC Arsenal and Manchester United show interest in the learned winger. Contact to the FC Barcelona was also manufactured. Simons, who initially came to Leipzig on a loan from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2023, would like to leave the Saxons in the next transfer period.

The claims of RB Leipzig

But RB Leipzig has clear ideas: The club expects a transfer of at least 70 million euros. This would make Simons the second most tax departure in the club's history. In January 2024, Leipzig had already transferred 50 million euros to PSG to commit the youngster. His achievements in the past season speak for himself: In 33 competitive games, he achieved 19 goal participations, which made him one of the club's top scorers.

In a time when the Bundesliga clubs are more and more pressure to get their financial expenses under control, the present change is seen as a possible bright spot for Leipzig. In view of the fact that the Saxons are not represented internationally in the coming season, the negotiating situation could not be cheaper for both sides.

market value and other transfers

A special focus is also on the market value of Simons, which has meanwhile increased to an impressive 80 million euros. This shows how dynamically the transfer market remains in football. According to Statista , only a few clubs were able to pay three-digit million amounts last season, which does not make the high demands of Leipzig surprising.

In addition to Simons, a striker could also leave the club, which is on the market for 70 million euros and is an objective of Arsenal. However, the transfer market at RB Leipzig is currently quiet, while the club is looking for a new coach. Ezechiel Banzuzi's commitment has already been reported, while Ilaix Moriba is permanently leaving the club.

How things go with Simons and his future remains exciting - the next few days could still make a lot of things. The Bundesliga must be prepared for the transfer market to have some surprises ready by summer. Stay on it!
