Attacking midfielder Xavi Simons is in a new home. The Dutchman was announced this Wednesday by RB Leipzig, where he will be loaned until June 2024.
The 20-year-old athlete belongs to the Paris Saint Germain (PSG), club for which he was revealed. However, Xavi Simons was released to PSV last season, where he stood out playing in the Dutch Championship.

With 22 goals and 12 assists in 48 matches, the youngster was bought back by the French, who had a clause of 6 million euros (about R$ 32 million at current prices) if they wanted to count on the player again.
Back at PSG, Xavi Simons was loaned to Leipzig so he could gain more experience before returning to the team. The transfer does not have a purchase option on the part of the Germans.
The Dutchman was just one of several signings for Leipzig this season. The current German Cup champions have already announced defender Bitshiabu, midfielders Fábio Carvalho, Seiwald and Baumgartner, and forwards Sesko and Openda.
