Mercato PSG: Xavi Simons loses a positive index
With the title in hand, the management of Paris Saint-Germain will be able to speed up certain issues. Leonardo is particularly expected on the question of the extension of the contract of Kylian Mbappe. The French striker’s lease at PSG expires this summer. The Parisian sports director recently admitted that negotiations had been held with the player’s relatives in Qatar. In addition to this file, the Brazilian official is also expected on the management of certain young people, including the promising xavier simons also at the end of the contract.
Asked by Channel supporters, the Dutch midfielder sent a positive signal about his future in Paris. The former resident of La Masia does not hide his well-being in the capital. “It’s really nice the support I have from the supporters! What I can say is that I want to continue to work every day to be able to play… After that, it’s the coach who makes his choices. But that’s good, I’m happy in Paris and we’ll see! “Said the young Parisian midfielder.
A boost from Pochettino in the Simons file
Despite his talent, Xavi Simons only has a short playing time at Paris Saint-Germain. The 19-year-old midfielder has only played eight games with the first team (296 minutes), including three as a starter, for an assist. At the end of the season, the Dutchman should gain in playing time. Paris having already been crowned champion, Mauricio Pochettino had indicated that he had to let the young people express themselves at the end of the season. A choice validated by Leonardo who wishes for his part to reassure them. For the sports director of PSG, it is a question of proving to them that they are not wronged and that they have a future with the club. It remains to be seen whether this will be enough to keep nuggets like Simons, particularly coveted by Barça, his former club.
