Xavi Simons will not leave Paris Saint-Germain on a permanent transfer but will remain on loan at RB Leipzig for another season, which means that clubs such as Manchester United and Barcelona who were supposedly interested in him are out of the race.

Xavi Simons is one of those players who has shone among the best in Europe this season on loan at RB Leipzig, which has put him on the radar of many top clubs this summer.

Both Barcelona, who were interested in bringing back their academy player after his incredible season in Germany, and Manchester United, who were reportedly preparing a 100 million bid for the young talent, can forget about his possible signing.

According to transfer market journalist Fabrizio Romano, the PSG striker has decided to stay with the Bundesliga side on loan for another season. Moreover, the French club was not willing to let the Dutch international leave on a permanent transfer.

Simons made 43 official appearances last season for Leipzig, 41 of them starts, scoring 10 goals and providing 13 assists, figures he will try to surpass in his second year in Germany.
