Leipzig woos Xavi Simons with a special proposition
Will Xavi Simons stay for another season at RB Leipzig? The German club is pulling out all the stops to convince him… with a special offer.
According to Bild, RB Leipzig wants to keep Xavi Simons. The club’s leaders are not hiding it and are repeating it in the media. But internally, they are also engaging in a little charm offensive.
Thus, Leipzig would offer Xavi Simons the opportunity to become the leader of their team. They would also offer him the iconic number 10 shirt, left vacant following Emil Forsberg’s departure to MLS this winter.
However, Leipzig must pass an important hurdle to convince the player: qualifying for the Champions League next season. Without this guarantee, the player might be tempted to leave, or even return to PSG. Currently, RB Leipzig ranks fifth in the Bundesliga.
Leipzig also faces competition from Bayern Munich, which is considering recruiting him. And of course, PSG is also in the picture, thinking about Xavi Simons for the post-Mbappé era. It will be challenging, but not impossible.
