Liverpool, Man Utd Still Face €80M Price for Leipzig Standout With PSG Sell-on Clause | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain took a short-term approach last year by loaning Xavi Simons back to RB Leipzig. Recently, things became more settled when Simons officially made the move permanent.

As part of the deal with the German club, the Ligue 1 side included a sell-on clause, giving them the chance to earn a bit more than the original fee they received.

According to CaughtOffside, Manchester United could have the upper hand over Manchester City in the race to sign Simons next summer.

Fabrizio Romano reported the deal is now official. Leipzig paid €80 million in total, including add-ons, with €55 million paid up front. Simons is under contract through June 2027—but with several clubs watching closely, there’s no guarantee he stays that long.

Sky Sports Germany’s Florian Plettenberg reports that RB Leipzig still plan to demand around €80 million for Simon this summer.

Bayern Munich—particularly if Florian Wirtz ends up moving elsewhere—along with Liverpool, Manchester United, and several other clubs, are monitoring his situation. So far, no official offers have been made to Leipzig.

PSG will monitor Leipzig’s sale price for the midfielder, but a sale might not happen this summer as Simons recently spoke about his future.

“I’m still a young player, I have many dreams – and the club knows that,” Simons said. “But right now, the most important thing for me is to play well in the upcoming games. Then we have the international matches, and after that we’ll sit down and see what happens.”
