RB Leipzig has announced the return of Netherlands international winger Xavi Simons, signing him on loan from Paris St-Germain for the 2024-25 season.
The 21-year-old enjoyed a successful stint with Leipzig last season, scoring 10 goals and providing 15 assists across 43 matches, which helped the team secure a fourth-place finish in the Bundesliga.
"I got everything I wanted from my move to Leipzig," said Simons. "I joined a great team and felt everyone’s trust and belief in me. I was able to develop as both a player and a person - RB Leipzig is the perfect place for you to do that. On top of that, the club really value me and made it clear over the last few months that they would like to sign me. They highlighted a clear and concise plan for me for the coming season."
In addition to his club success, Simons was part of the Netherlands national team at Euro 2024, where he scored to give his country the lead in their semi-final match against England, which ultimately ended in a 2-1 defeat for the Netherlands.
