PSG sends a warning to Xavi Simons: a summer sale is out of the question

According to Fabrizio Romano, Paris Saint-Germain has contacted the representatives of Xavi Simons to confirm that they have no intention of selling the Dutch international in the summer.

This move underscores PSG's belief in Simons' potential and their desire to keep him within their ranks for future seasons.

Furthermore, according to the Italian journalist, if the 21-year-old footballer does not want to return to the Parc des Princes – he is currently on loan at Leipzig, Germany – a new loan is possible and the most viable option, with Xavi Simons having a say in which club he wants to represent next. This flexibility indicates PSG’s willingness to accommodate Simons' preferences while ensuring he continues to develop through regular playing time.

In the current season, the playmaker has recorded nine goals and 14 assists in the 42 matches he has played for the German team. His impressive performances have made him a key player for Leipzig, showcasing his creativity and vision on the field. These statistics highlight his contribution to the team's success and his development as a top-tier footballer.

Simons' future remains a topic of interest, as his performances have caught the attention of several top clubs. His ability to influence games with his skill set makes him a valuable asset. Whether he decides to return to PSG or explore another loan opportunity, his career trajectory looks promising.

PSG's decision to retain Simons and potentially loan him out again reflects their long-term strategy of nurturing young talent. The club recognizes his potential and is keen to provide him with the best opportunities for growth. This approach also benefits Simons, allowing him to gain valuable experience in competitive leagues.

As the summer transfer window approaches, the situation will likely develop further, with discussions between Simons, his representatives, and PSG determining the next steps. Fans and analysts will be watching closely to see where Simons will continue to showcase his talents next season.
