The Paris Saint-Germain may come to regret the sale of Xavi Simons, who was transferred to RB Leipzig this winter for €50M plus €30M in bonuses.
While PSG appeared to secure a lucrative deal, the bonus payments are conditional on Leipzig achieving difficult objectives, such as winning the Bundesliga or the Champions League this season. If these conditions are not met, Paris won’t see the full €30M bonus.
A Transfer Already in Question?
According to Fichajes, Liverpool, Manchester City, and Manchester United are closely monitoring the Dutch midfielder. With his market value now at €80M, RB Leipzig could be tempted to sell him this summer to cash in without paying PSG’s bonuses.
A Costly Mistake for PSG
If Leipzig sells Simons for €100M or more, they would secure a major profit while Paris loses up to €30M in potential earnings. This situation highlights the financial risks taken by PSG, who may end up missing out on a future star and a significant financial windfall.
