Dutch Winger Simons Returns to RB Leipzig on Loan from PSG

RB Leipzig has announced the return of Dutch winger Xavi Simons, signing him on loan from Paris St-Germain for the 2024-25 season.

The 21-year-old enjoyed a successful loan spell with Leipzig last season, where he scored 10 goals and provided 15 assists in 43 matches, playing a key role in the team's fourth-place finish in the Bundesliga.

"I got everything I wanted from my move to Leipzig," said Simons. "I joined a great team and felt everyone's trust and belief in me. I was able to develop as both a player and a person - RB Leipzig is the perfect place for you to do that. On top of that, the club really value me and made it clear over the last few months that they would like to sign me. They highlighted a clear and concise plan for me for the coming season."

Simons was also part of the Netherlands squad during Euro 2024, where he scored to put his team ahead in their semi-final match against England, which ultimately ended in a 2-1 loss for the Netherlands.
