According to earlier reports by Fabrizio Romano, Leipzig paid €80 million for Simons, of which €55 million was paid up front. The 22-year-old agreed to a deal with PSG that included a sell-on clause and ran until June 2027.
According to sources cited by CaughtOffside on Saturday, Simons is open to joining the Premier League and is available this summer for about €60 million. With Arsenal, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur all being mentioned as possible destinations for the Netherlands international, early discussions over a potential move to London have already begun. According to a Monday report by Marco Conterio of Tuttomercatoweb, Inter Milan is searching for a significant offensive addition, and Ademola Lookman of Atalanta is not the only target. Piero Ausilio, the sports director, has made direct contact with super agent Ali Barat, and negotiations are still in progress.
