Xavi Simons is currently on loan to RB Leipzig for the season, and there have been reports from Bild suggesting that the loan will be extended.
According to these reports, there has been discussion of something resembling a preliminary agreement, where Leipzig’s qualification for the Champions League would automatically trigger an extension of the loan.
However, the PSG Inside Actus, a well-informed source on Twitter, denies these claims. They state, « There will be no loan extension. Even Luis Enrique regrets having loaned him, and Nasser [Al-Khelaïfi] would have kept him if Neymar had left sooner. We will talk about it again. But next year, he will be 100% a PSG player. Simons is part of the Paris project. »
Sky Sports Germany clarifies that the loan extension agreement was only verbal and had been made with Leipzig’s former sporting director, who was since dismissed due to his statements about Xavi Simons that had irked PSG.
This situation surrounding Xavi Simons and his loan extension appears to be quite complicated and uncertain.
