Xavi Simons before a move: Top English clubs in focus!
The transfer rumors surrounding the talented Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig are making the rounds again. According to a recent report by Football Transfers The speculation has cooled down somewhat, but those around the 22-year-old offensive player are still actively looking for a new club. Simons' older brother and advisor, Faustino Simons, is currently in talks with various interested parties, especially from the English Premier League.
The list of potential buyers reads like a who's who of international football: Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United, Arsenal FC and Manchester United are showing interest in the trained winger. A contact to FC Barcelona was also produced. Simons, who initially came to Leipzig on loan from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2023, would like to leave the Saxons in the next transfer window.
The demands of RB Leipzig
But RB Leipzig has clear ideas: the club expects a transfer fee of at least 70 million euros. This would make Simons the second most expensive departure in the club's history. In January 2024, Leipzig had already transferred 50 million euros to PSG in order to sign the youngster permanently. His performances last season speak for themselves: in 33 competitive games he scored 19 goals, which made him one of the club's top scorers.
At a time when Bundesliga clubs are coming under increasing pressure to get their financial expenses under control, the move is seen as a possible bright spot for Leipzig. Given the fact that the Saxons will not be represented internationally next season, the negotiating situation could not be more favorable for both sides.
Market value and other transfers
A particular focus is also on Simons' market value, which has now risen to an impressive 80 million euros. This shows how dynamic the transfer market in football remains. Loud Statista Only a few clubs were able to pay three-digit million sums last season, which makes Leipzig's high demands unsurprising.
In addition to Simons, a striker who is on the market for 70 million euros and is an objective of Arsenal FC could also leave the club. However, the transfer market at RB Leipzig currently remains quiet as the club looks for a new coach. The signing of Ezechiel Banzuzi has already been announced, while Ilaix Moriba is leaving the club permanently.
What will happen next with Simons and his future remains exciting - the next few days could see a lot of changes here. The Bundesliga has to prepare for the fact that the transfer market will still have a few surprises in store until the summer. Stay tuned!
