Earlier this year, PSG sold Xavi Simons to RB Leipzig, and the Dutch midfielder has since drawn interest from several Premier League clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United.
According to a previous report from Fabrizio Romano, Leipzig paid €80 million for Simons, with €55 million up front. The 22-year-old signed a contract through June 2027, and PSG included a sell-on clause in the deal.
With the summer transfer window approaching, speculation around Simons’ future is ramping up. CaughtOffside recently reported that Manchester United may now be leading the race to sign him.
However, Bild notes that Simons is still looking for a new club as the window opens. While several Premier League teams—including Newcastle—remain interested, he’s reportedly not keen on a move to northeast England. There are also questions about his attitude, which could give some clubs pause.

CaughtOffside reported Saturday that Simons is available for around €60 million this summer and is open to a move to the Premier League, according to sources.
Early discussions have already begun regarding a potential switch to London, with Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur all being explored as possible destinations for the Netherlands international.
Romano reported Friday that Chelsea and Arsenal are among the clubs closely monitoring Xavi Simons this summer.
Simons is expected to leave Leipzig—a decision that’s been clear since May—and several top Premier League sides are well aware of the situation. That said, no formal offers or negotiations have taken place yet. As for Barcelona, Romano says there’s currently nothing concrete happening on that front.
