Xavi Simons will be free of any contract in five days and Paris is threatened. Announced close to a contract extension with PSG at the end of May, the versatile Dutchman has not yet signed a new lease and is attracting attention from all over Europe. The interest of PSV Eindhoven was notably revealed this Saturday by the regional daily Eindhovens Dagblad (ED).
According to information from Dutch journalist Rik Elfrink, the 19-year-old midfielder is the priority target of Ruud van Nistelrooy, appointed to the PSV bench this summer. Simons would replace Mario Götze, who left for Eintrach Frankfurt. The former La Masia is not, however, the only track activated by the Dutch club, aware of the difficulty of the transaction.“

And Xavi Simons is really a serious option for PSV. Perhaps this is ultimately very difficult or even unfeasible. But if you don’t dare to jump high, it is difficult to excel. See if it works out.

Currently on vacation, the former protege of Mino Raiola, now horned by Rafaela Pimenta, showed up almost daily in training, both in the weight room and on the lawn. At 19, and after having gradually integrated the professional group without having obtained much playing time there this season (9 games for 318 minutes), his choice will be decisive for his next few years. This may explain the time of his decision making.
