On Thursday, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported that Simons has joined RB Leipzig on a permanent transfer from Paris Saint-Germain. The deal is worth a total of €80 million, including add-ons, with an initial fee of €55 million and a sell-on clause.
Romano also noted that Simons’ contract runs until June 2027, but he could be on the move again as early as this summer, with several clubs already keeping an eye on him.
On Friday, PSG manager Luis Enrique discussed Simons’ sale as the club moves on from the saga, though they still have a vested interest in his future with a percentage of any future transfer.
“I knew him, that’s the transfer market,” Enrique said (h/t Paris Fans). “It’s a question for the sporting management. I’m in daily contact with Luis Campos. That’s the solution that was found. The player makes his decisions. There are consequences.”
