RB managing director Marcel Schäfer only wants to let attacking player Xavi Simons leave if he receives a strong offer from Leipzig. "We know his great ambitions to play in a top league for a title contender. He wants to prove himself at the highest level. And if it makes economic sense, we are open. But only then," Schäfer told Sport Bild.
Until then, the 22-year-old Dutch international will remain in the starting eleven for the Bundesliga club. "If it doesn't make economic sense for us, we look forward to another season with this outstanding player," said Schäfer. In the first cup round at the weekend, coach Ole Werner started Simons from the beginning in Sandhausen. The attacker set up a goal in the 4-2 win and scored one himself.
