Xavi Simons: Update - Has signed with PSG and on loan to RB Leipzig

[Nicky91]

biggest question mark at the transfer market over here in my nation


Xavi can be bought back by Paris Saint-Germain for ''only'' 6 million, should Xavi want that himself since he has all the powers to decide, but his release clause for PSG is at 6 million


otherwise other teams have to pay a grand price of 50 or 60 million

my advice for him would be to stay at PSV, best for his career at the moment, to keep improving, also not to risk his place at the national team

and he already knows what he has at PSG, sitting on the bench or stands, but train with some bigger name players, but not much minutes in actual games


and for the money well he already has a nice couple of millions from what he earned at his Barca, PSG days


and i'm sure if he has another strong season now in eindhoven, more clubs will come for him next year

He should come home to his beloved Barcelona !!

some fun facts regarding Xavi

In March 2020, Simons was named on Goal's "NxGn 2020" list of 50 best wonderkids in world football. He was also included in The Guardian's "Next Generation 2020" in October. Simons has amassed a large following on social media platform Instagram, with over 4 million followers. He also has a sponsorship contract with sporting goods manufacturer Adidas

if he chooses to go to PSG again, it is obvious he only thinks about the money then, and he can also forget about possible euro cups, world cups to go to with the national team

we don't choose someone who sits everytime on the stands :fan:



but yeah he has enormous potential to be a great one, i mean it, such a skillful technical talent he has, pure artistry is his style, you can see he has learned a lot from Messi, Mbappe, Neymar
