RB Leipzig attacking midfielder Xavi Simons wants a switch to the Premier League. Transfer Talk has the latest news, gossip and rumors.
www.espn.com.auHere’s the latest I can share based on current public coverage.
- A number of outlets throughout 2025 reported Xavi Simons’ transfer fee as a key point of discussion, with Leipzig reportedly seeking around €60–€70 million in several articles, while some updates suggested closer to €50–€60 million depending on the club and conditions.[1][2][8]
- By August 2025, multiple sources confirmed Tottenham Hotspur completed a deal in the region of £51 million for Simons from RB Leipzig, indicating a significant transfer fee in the lower end of the previously discussed range.[2][8]
- Throughout mid- to late 2025 and into 2026, rumors and transfer feeds fluctuated between €30–€60 million depending on market chatter, with valuations quickly changing as reports cited liquidity constraints and competition among clubs in the Premier League.[4][7][9]
Illustration: If you’re tracking a typical path, a club confirms an initial fee in the €50–60m range, with possible add-ons taking the total higher, though actual final sums can vary by structured payments and clauses.
Would you like me to pull the very latest confirmed fee from a specific club or provide a quick chart of fee ranges reported over 2025–2026? I can also summarize where Simons was most strongly linked during that period (Chelsea, Bayern, Spurs) with brief pros/cons for each option.
