Sky Germany journalist Philipp Hinze has confirmed that Xavi Simons is flying to France today, August 8, with RB Leipzig.

There, Leipzig will face Ligue 1 opposition RC Lens in their final pre-season match in their preparations for the 2025-26 campaign. 

Xavi is in the squad and, unless something unexpected happens, is expected to play at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis.

As long as no suitable offer is on the table, Xavi is set to remain a regular member of Ole Werner's team.

The Dutchman missed training during the week due to a cold but recovered in time to be available for the trip. 

Chelsea, who have already signed Jamie Gittens from the Bundesliga this summer, are still interested in the Netherlands midfielder.
