In a surprising turn of events, RB Leipzig secured the permanent signing of Xavi Simons (21 years old, 12 matches, 4 goals in Bundesliga this season) from Paris Saint-Germain this winter for €50 million, with an additional €31 million in bonuses, most of which are difficult to achieve.
However, Simons might not stay in Germany for long. According to Bild, Leipzig is already considering selling him at the end of the season, hoping to make a quick profit of around €80 million. The Dutch playmaker has caught the attention of Liverpool, Manchester City, and Manchester United, all of whom could be ready to make an offer.
If this plan materializes, Leipzig could pull off a stunning financial move, turning a short-term investment into a major profit in just a few months. The key question now is whether Simons is ready for yet another transfer or if he will stay and develop further in the Bundesliga.
