: If Xavi Simons were to leave PSG in the summer, Liverpool would be seen as one of the most probable destinations for him.

PSG’s €80m-rated forward Xavi Simons targeted by Arsenal and Liverpool

Xavi Simons looks on during the Bundesliga match between RB Leipzig and Borussia Mönchengladbach at Red Bull Arena on Germany.

Xavi Simons (21), currently on loan at RB Leipzig, has an uncertain future. Despite being re-signed by Paris Saint-Germain two summers ago, he is yet to establish himself at the Ligue 1 giants.

The Athletic understands that Les Parisiens would like to keep Simons when his loan in Germany expires at the end of the season. However, PSG are at a crossroads given that Simons’ contract expires in two years. It is time to either integrate him and play him, or sell him whilst his market value is high. PSG’s stance on retaining the versatile forward will depend on Luis Enrique’s evaluation come the end of the current campaign.

Should he be pushed towards the exit, there will be no shortage of suitors. PSG want over €80m for Simons, which may rule RB Leipzig out of the running, even if the Bundesliga club are keen on retaining their loanee. The Athletic understands that Arsenal and Liverpool would also be interested in a deal and both Premier League sides are in the race to sign the Dutchman this summer.
