PSV confirm: Xavi Simons leaves training camp – return to PSG

Market value increased tenfold

PSV Eindhoven loses its most valuable player and the till doesn’t ring. The runner-up gave known on Sunday morningthat Xavi Simons (20) left the training camp to finalize his transfer to Paris Saint-Germain. The attacking midfielder is said to have a clause in his contract, signed last summer, that allows him to return to PSG for a fee of 6 million euros.

PSV signed Simons on a free transfer from the French champions in 2022 and signed him until 2027. It’s going back after just one season. In the past twelve months he has collected 34 points in 48 games and managed the breakthrough that was denied him in Paris. Simons is now a Dutch international and has increased his market value in a PSV shirt from €4m to €40m.

According to the transfer expert Fabrizio Romano Simons will probably only play for PSG next season if Kylian Mbappé (24) or Neymar (31) leave the club. If not, it should be awarded. Simons moved to Paris from the FC Barcelona youth team on a free transfer in 2019 and has played eleven games for the PSG professionals to date.
