Xavi Simons announced a few days ago that he would continue to RB Leipzig another season on loan from PSG. The news comes after months of uncertainty over the future of the Dutch international, who has also spent good time in the orbit of a Bayern Munich which finally left him with honey on his lips.
Now, from Germany, they claim that the former Barça player also had the possibility of going to another Bundesliga team: Bayer Leverkusen. ‘Sport Bild’ states that the team’s own Basque coach, Xabi Alonso, contacted the footballer directly via videoconference to inform him of the interest and to find out first hand about Simons’ opinion.
However, and despite the temptation that signing for the current German championship might entail, there were no further calls after that as it was clear to Simons that he wanted to continue growing at a Leipzig where they were happy. Starting in the summer, it will be necessary to see what will be the fate of the player, who has a contract with PSG until June 2027.
