OFFICIAL: Xavi Simons renewed at PSG and loaned to RB Leipzig

Xavi Simons is already PSV's past. The Dutch player kills 2 birds with 1 stone: renewal with PSG until 2027 and loan to RB Leipzig for next season without option to buy in the agreement.

This was announced by both clubs on Wednesday. The promising youngster who came through the Barcelona youth academy will wear the number '20' and will compete under the orders of Marco Rose in the ambitious 2023-24 project.

Xavi Simons delayed the announcement of his decision after creating hype on social media. In the end, what he meant was his change of sponsorship with Nike to wear Puma boots from now on.

The midfielder-turned-attacker will play alongside Dani Olmo or Lois Openda, the most expensive signing in the history of the German club. In other words, the void left by Dominik Szoboszlai's departure to Liverpool has been filled.
