EXCL: PSG make up ground in Leny Yoro transfer battle, big decision on the horizon for Xavi Simons, & how Roberto de Zerbi can revolutionise Ligue 1

PSG have the chance to make a major statement this summer...

Xavi Simons has the opportunity for a fresh start at PSG

We’re hearing a lot of reports at the moment as it looks like there is going to be a bit of a fight over where Xavi Simons’ future lies. PSG certainly have no intention of throwing in the towel, and Luis Enrique certainly sees a place for the Dutch midfielder in his side in the future.

At the same time, though, it is true that there are a few big European names keeping an eye on Simons’ situation to know more about what his future holds. Obviously nothing will get done while the Netherlands are still playing at the Euros, but it is a big decision coming up on the horizon for him.

From Simons’ point of view, there are arguments for and against him staying at PSG. In terms of arguments for staying, there is now a clearer place for him at PSG than there was before, as I think post-Kylian Mbappe, Simons has the kind of star power to really develop into an interesting profile for PSG to build their image around, alongside the likes of Warren Zaire-Emery.
