RB Leipzig's Xavi Simons: Secret plans to move to the Premier League!

RB Leipzig is currently in Brazil for a PR trip in which the club's management and players want to strengthen the fan base in South America. The focus is particularly on the offensive star Xavi Simons (22 years old), as he has gained a large following in Brazil with his impressive playing style. During the trip, Simons had the letters “BR” braided on the back of his head and took part in a number of PR appointments for RB Leipzig and its supplier Puma. He didn't lose sight of his security team and brought him with him.

There is a special appointment on Monday: Simons will fly 85 kilometers to Santos in a helicopter to meet superstar Neymar (33) at his academy. Despite all these activities, the talented player has announced that he wants to move to a club in the summer. However, so far there have been no concrete offers for him, as sports director Marcel Schäfer (49) confirmed. In addition, the rumors of interest from Bayern Munich, which has internally refrained from making a commitment, have proven to be unconfirmed.

Plans for a move and the Premier League

Xavi Simons plans to leave the Bundesliga, which he has already informed the club about. While there have been rumors of interest from Bayern Munich in the past, the player's focus has now shifted to the Premier League, particularly with a loose connection to Chelsea. His strong season at RB Leipzig, in which he was signed in January for an initial transfer fee of 50 million euros, has brought teams like Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool onto the scene.

According to information from 90min, Leipzig plans to demand a transfer fee of at least 70 million euros (around 72 million euros or 60 million pounds) for Simons should he actually leave the club. A farewell could be particularly painful for Leipzig as the club has failed to qualify for next Champions League season, which could further reduce the Bundesliga's attractiveness for young talent.

The further development

Xavi Simons has numerous dreams and sees himself as still in the early phase of his career. A final decision about his new club could only be made after the World Cup qualifiers in June, as he himself suggests. His brother and advisor Faustino Simons (29) is also in Brazil and will soon meet with sports boss Schäfer to plan the future of the talented offensive player.

The coming weeks promise to be exciting with regards to the transfer of Xavi Simons. Should he actually decide to move to the Premier League, this could have a significant impact on the transfer policy not only of RB Leipzig, but also of the clubs involved in the league.
