Leipzig's Xavi Departure Confirmed
In a significant transfer move, Xavi Simons has left RB Leipzig to join Tottenham Hotspur for an estimated fee of 60 million euros. The young midfielder, who scored 22 goals and provided 24 assists in 78 competitive games for Leipzig, will now wear the number 7 jersey for his new club.
The transfer has been finalized, and Simons has joined Tottenham Hotspur with immediate effect. Expressing his excitement, Simons stated, "I'm really happy and can't wait to get started. I've been dreaming of this for a long time."
With Simons' departure, RB Leipzig's head coach, Ole Werner, will have to adjust his midfield plans. The German club has already started making advance moves to further strengthen their midfield. One potential candidate being considered is Harvey Elliott, the 22-year-old midfielder currently at FC Liverpool.
Elliott, who was instrumental in his development at Liverpool under Jรผrgen Klopp, has been a target for RB Leipzig. However, the details of a potential transfer, including the fee and contract, have not been disclosed yet. It's also important to note that the transfer of Elliott to RB Leipzig, if it happens, is not expected to be finalized before the club's Bundesliga home opener this Saturday.
If Elliott does join RB Leipzig, he could be the new hope for the club's midfield. Ole Werner has shown openness to the possibility of signing Elliott, making it a potential move that could shape the future of RB Leipzig's midfield.
Meanwhile, at Liverpool, Elliott's potential departure has not been confirmed yet. As a key player in the Liverpool squad, his absence would surely be felt. However, with the transfer market still active, only time will tell where Elliott's future lies.
On the other hand, Tottenham Hotspur fans are eagerly waiting to see Simons in action. With a long-term contract secured, Simons is ready to contribute to Spurs' upcoming matches, marking a new era for the club.
