The arrival of Luis Enrique could have relevancy on the Dutchman’s preference, as he’ll give himself a few days to weigh his options. L’Equipe’s Loïc Tanzi also reported that Simons wouldn’t mind a return to Paris, but the 20-year-old wants guarantees, which will likely surround playing time.

Transfer window specialist Fabrizio Romano reported that Simons’ clause is €6 million. While the price is inexpensive, the young player will have the final say.
PSG’s move to return him demonstrates their long-term vision and commitment to nurturing young talents. The former FC Barcelona youth product has been touted as one of the most promising talents in European football.
Last season, Simons began flashing his potential, scoring 22 goals and registering 12 assists in 48 appearances in all competitions for PSV.
