Arsenal, Man United Eyeing PSV Star Who Has €6m PSG Buy-Back Deadline

Arsenal and Manchester United are among the top European clubs interested in PSV star Xavi Simons, but a buy-back option in his contract makes PSG the clear favorite to acquire him this summer.

In 48 games since making the switch from PSG to PSV last summer, Simons has been in outstanding form for the Eredivisie team.

He has scored 22 goals and provided 12 assists.

Simons, who can play either on the wing or the No. 10 position, has an abundance of speed and displays both flare and creativity in his passes, coupled with an exceptional dribbling ability.

Simons joined Barcelona’s La Masia academy at seven years old before moving to PSG at the age of 16.

Real Madrid inquired about signing him last summer but he was instead snapped up by PSV on a free transfer.

His astonishing form under Van Nistelrooy has predictably led the big boys to circle. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed that ‘Man Utd, Arsenal, Brighton, Spurs, BVB and Leipzig asked to be informed’ of Simons’ situation.

However, according to The Athletic, PSG hold the key to Simons, in the form of a buy-back clause that gives them the opportunity to re-sign the 20-year-old for a set fee, believed to be as low as €6m (£5.2m; $6.6m), during the month of July.

However, it’s Simons’ decision to make and as he explained earlier this month, he’s “settled” at PSV and has “no obligations to anyone”.

“It is a clause between me and PSV. Not between me and Paris Saint-Germain,” Simons said.

“It’s a clause that, if I wanted to go to PSG, I could leave for a certain amount at the end of the season.
