La Liga
RB Leipzig is facing a delicate situation this summer with Xavi Simons. After definitively acquiring him in the winter market for a sum close to 50 million euros, the German team was expecting to quickly recoup the investment with a sale in the current market. However, things are not going as planned.
Despite some English clubs showing interest in the Dutch international, none of these approaches have turned into a concrete offer. According to the newspaper 'Bild', the contacts with these teams have been mere inquiries, with no significant progress or formal proposals on the table. This lack of movement is causing concern in the club's offices.
They want to get 70 million euros for him
Simons, 22 years old, ended the season with respectable numbers (11 goals and 8 assists in 33 games), but his second half of the season raised doubts. His performance significantly decreased, and his behavior within the locker room has been criticized on several occasions, negatively affecting his reputation and market value.
Leipzig currently maintains their valuation close to 70 million euros, but the reality is that the market is not responding to that assessment. Additionally, Xavi's recent decision to entrust his representation to his brother Faustino, who lacks prior experience in these operations, adds a new obstacle to a sale that was deemed crucial for the club.
