Xavi Simons Stays at RB Leipzig, Eyes PSG Return in 2025

In a surprising turn of events, Xavi Simons will not be playing for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the upcoming season. The young Dutch forward has opted to remain with RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga, citing a lack of ambition in the project presented by new PSG manager Luis Enrique. Currently on loan, Simons could potentially return to Paris in 2025 to finally kickstart his journey in Ligue 1.

According to reports from 10Sport.com, Luis Enrique had intentions of bringing Xavi Simons back to the French capital after his loan spell at RB Leipzig. However, the vision articulated by Enrique did not resonate with Simons, leading him to choose stability and continuity in Germany.

Xavi Simons reflects on his time at Leipzig

“I have achieved everything I wanted at Leipzig. I joined a great team, and I felt that everyone trusted me. I’ve been able to thrive both as a player and as a person. RB Leipzig is the perfect place for that. Furthermore, the club values me highly and has made it clear in recent months that they want to sign me,” expressed Xavi Simons, who remains on loan until the end of the season.

A different story in 2025?

Looking ahead, Xavi Simons is expected to return to PSG in 2025. The 21-year-old forward may bolster the Parisian squad for the 2025/2026 season—provided that the French team can present a more compelling argument this time around.
