In the pipes for several days, the signing of Xavi Simons at PSV Eindhoven was formalized late on Tuesday evening.
But, when he was expected to extend his contract with Paris Saint-Germain before signing on loan with the Dutch club, the 19-year-old striker, out of contract in Paris, has signed directly until 2027. A slight surprise which induces a specificity in the transaction.
Indeed, according to our information, a buyout option has been negotiated in favor of PSG, giving the Parisian club the possibility of taking over the player if it wishes at some point.
There is no indication that this will happen, however, but it is one of the conditions negotiated in the transaction.

Author of 4 goals and 6 assists in 7 Youth League games with the Parisian U19s this season, Xavi Simons, who arrived from Barcelona in 2019, was only entitled to 318 minutes of playing time with the first team, with in particular a first tenure in Ligue 1 in February against Rennes.
He will want to play more in the Dutch Premier League next season.
On his Instagram account, Xavi Simons wanted to thank PSG, his teammates and the supporters this Tuesday evening: âAfter 3 wonderful years spent at the club, it is time for me to say goodbye.
I am very grateful to the Parisian supporters, the coaches, the staffs, my teammates and all the club staff.
PSG will always be in my heart, he wrote.
With a âspecial mention for the fans: from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU I love you!!
