Not Mbappé nor Bellingham, the best Champions League player is 20 years old and costs 70 million

Xavi Simmons, an RB Leipzig player who is barely 20 years old, is now shining, however it was not always like this. The midfielder was rejected by FC Barcelona and PSG, leaving both clubs free and having to look for his future away from Spain and France.

Xavi Simons is enjoying a great present with the German Leipzig shirt. He did not have a very good time in his early days as a footballer. The forward was the great promise of La Masía but he never managed to earn a place in the first team and ended up leaving with the transfer to Paris. The same thing happened to him at PSG and he was only able to have minutes to gain experience with the PSV Ehindoven shirt.

Such was the level shown in Holland by Xavi Simons that PSG itself bought him for 40 million and then loaned him to German Leipzig. Precisely with that shirt he does not stop shining in the current season where he has already scored five goals in 14 games between the Champions League and Bundesliga. Yesterday, with a goal from him, I took a big step towards the round of 16 of the continental tournament.

Paris Saint-Germain released him and then bought him back for 40 million euros, but instead of using him, they returned him on loan to Leipzig. Due to his very good last two seasons, everyone indicates that next year he will have his opportunity to demonstrate all his talent in the French giant. But the behavior they have from the club itself invites doubt.
