July 21, 2025 – Leipzig
A major transfer move could soon take shape as Xavi Simons‘ future at RB Leipzig grows increasingly uncertain. The Dutch midfielder has made it clear since May that he wants to leave this summer, with developments expected to progress in the coming days.
Simons, 22, still has two years remaining on his Leipzig contract, but the Bundesliga club is now open to negotiating, with his price tag potentially dropping below €70 million.
Several top European clubs have taken notice. Chelsea and Arsenal are both actively monitoring the situation, having shown interest as early as last week. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich also remain keen on bringing the talented playmaker back to Germany.
Known for his creativity, versatility, and ability to play across the midfield and attacking lines, Simons is considered one of Europe’s most promising young stars. A decision on his next club could be made soon as talks intensify.
This transfer saga is quickly becoming one of the most closely watched of the summer.
