Bought in winter, could be sold in summer: RB Leipzig considers Simons sale

RB Leipzig only recently secured the permanent signing of midfielder Xavi Simons during the winter transfer window. However, there may have been a strategic reason behind the move.

Details: According to BILD editor Christian Falk, Leipzig is considering selling Simons in the summer, as the club sees an opportunity to make a significant profit.

Quote:

"It looks like RB Leipzig will sell Xavi Simons in the summer transfer window. It’s a bit surprising that the club agreed to a permanent deal for him. Initially, they didn’t expect to get that chance, but they did—for €50 million, which isn’t that much for a player of his caliber.

His contract isn’t very long, only until 2027, so as you can see, his value is rising! Leipzig believes they’ve signed a player for €50 million who could potentially be worth €80 million. That means they could make a huge profit from a possible sale. I’m sure there’s either a gentleman’s agreement or a release clause that will see Simons leave in the summer," Falk wrote in his column for Caught Offside.
