Paris Saint-Germain Considering Loaned Player Xavi Simons’ Return amid Kylian Mbappé Departure

Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique spoke at a press conference about the situation of a player loaned last summer.

With the free departure at the end of the season of Kylian Mbappé, Paris Saint-Germain will partly have to recompose its offensive sector. If the avenues leading to Victor Osimhen (Naples) and Rafael Leao (AC Milan) continue to be mentioned, nothing says at this stage that the capital club will decide to digitally replace the 25-year-old French striker, who will leave undoubtedly a huge void in the squad led by Luis Enrique.

In attack, an internal solution could be found by the Ile-de-France leaders, that of repatriating a player loaned since last summer to a major team in the Bundesliga. According to recent information provided by The Parisian, the Ile-de-France residents are thinking of a return of Xavi Simons. Loaned to RB Leipzig for the 2023-2024 season, the young Dutch attacking midfielder is still under contract until June 2027 with the Ligue 1 leader.

“On a des contacts, on le suit”

This Thursday, on the eve of the shock of the 24th day of Ligue 1 on the field of AS Monaco, the Spanish technician gave his feelings on the case of the native of Amsterdam. The Ile-de-France coach makes no secret of the fact that the club is closely following the performances of the only 20-year-old winger. “He belongs to our club and of course we follow his journey as with all loaned players. But I don’t prefer to talk about him to respect the club he is in. But of course, we have contacts, we follow him.”

With the team coached by Marco Rose, fifth in the Bundesliga and facing Real Madrid next Wednesday at Santiago-Bernabeu in the round of 16 second leg of the Champions League (1-0 defeat in Germany), Xavi Simons found the way 8 times nets and delivered 10 assists in 32 matches in all competitions, in 2023-2024.
