Netherlands midfielder Xavi Simons has decided to stay at RB Leipzig for another season on loan, rejecting an offer to move to Bundesliga giants, Bayern Munich.
RB Leipzig and Paris Saint Germain are currently finalizing the last details of the one year loan deal for Xavi Simons.
The 21-year-old midfielder spent the 2023–24 season on loan at RB Leipzig, and he is looking forward to leaving Ligue 1 giant Paris Saint-Germain.
Xavi Simon’s continuity in the RB Leipzig side will make them one of the favorites for the German Bundesliga title next season.
At one stage of his transfer window, Bayern Munich were close to signing the player on a permanent deal after his impressive performance in the Euro 2024 with the Netherlands national team.
The player, who scored 10 goals and created 13 assists in all club competitions last season, had already agreed personal terms with Bayern Munich.
The creative midfielder also caught the attention of Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal, but he wasn’t a strong transfer target for those teams.
