Premier League
RB Leipzig is seriously considering parting ways with Xavi Simons this summer, not because of his performance. The young Dutch talent is one of the key figures of the German team, but his high salary (close to 13 million euros annually) has become a burden hard to sustain for the club.
Despite the midfielder shining during his time in the Bundesliga, Leipzig understands that keeping him long-term may be unsustainable. They are open to listening to offers, but with a very clear condition: whoever wants him must pay a figure very close to 80 million euros. There is no intention to give away one of the most promising players in European football.
Guardiola Wants Him at City
According to Sky Germany, Manchester City is emerging as the main interested party. Pep Guardiola's team sees Simons as the ideal replacement for Kevin De Bruyne, who is nearing the end of his top-level career. His versatility, creative talent, and youth make him a present and future asset for the 'citizens'.
Leipzig, aware of the interest from various European giants, holds a strong position: they are not in a hurry to sell, but if an offer compensates for both the sporting loss and the financial demand, they will not hesitate to close the deal. The ball is now in City's court.
