PSG’s Xavi Simons Deal Tied to Leipzig’s Performance.
Paris Saint-Germain won’t immediately receive the full €30 million in bonuses from Xavi Simons’ transfer to RB Leipzig. A significant portion of these incentives depends on Leipzig’s future results, making them far from guaranteed.
Sold for €50 million, with up to €31 million in potential bonuses, the Dutch midfielder could bring in more money for PSG—but only if Leipzig meets specific performance targets.
Ambitious Bonus Conditions
According to Sky Sport DE and BILD, the bonus structure is divided into two categories:
- First part: Bonuses depend on Leipzig winning the Bundesliga or the Champions League. Given the dominance of Bayern Munich and Europe’s top clubs, this remains a highly unlikely scenario.
- Second part: More achievable conditions, requiring a German Cup victory and qualification for the 2025-2026 Champions League.
Uncertain Financial Gains for PSG
While some bonuses seem nearly impossible, others remain within reach. Leipzig is competing for a UCL spot, but winning major titles like the Champions League or Bundesliga remains a tall order.
For PSG, the deal remains financially beneficial, but the total earnings will ultimately depend on Leipzig’s success over the coming seasons.
