Rising through the ranks at Barcelona and later at Paris Saint-Germain, the young and talented Xavi Simons made his senior debut for PSG at just 18. However, after making only seven league appearances for the French side, he was sold to PSV in the Netherlands in 2022.
The Dutch midfielder's lone season with PSV turned out to be his breakout campaign and he was re-signed by PSG in 2023, only to be immediately loaned out to RB Leipzig for two seasons in the Bundesliga without making a single appearance for PSG.
At Leipzig, Simons truly found his footing, quickly establishing himself as one of their best players despite his young age. He permanently signed for Leipzig during the winter transfer window in 2025 and continues to shine in Germany.
His current contract with Leipzig runs until 2027, and he is now one of the top earners in the squad despite his tender age. But exactly how much does the youngster earn playing at Leipzig?
