RB Leipzig set €80m price tag for Xavi Simons as summer exit looms

The valuation comes as Xavi Simons has continued to impress at Leipzig, further elevating his profile as one of Europe's most promising young talents. Simons, who emerged from Barcelona's renowned La Masia academy, has quickly made a name for himself with Leipzig, showing versatility as both an attacking midfielder and winger.

His performances have been widely praised, and he has also gained significant attention on social media, making him a marketable player with growing influence.

Despite the German club's clear intent to profit from his potential departure, his future at the club is still undecided. While a move away from Leipzig remains a distinct possibility, the young talent could also opt to stay and continue his development with the Bundesliga side.

The club is in a strong position to negotiate, especially given the player's rapid rise in stature, with top European clubs expected to monitor his situation closely as the summer transfer window approaches.
