Xavi Simons has struggled to find his best form of late for RB Leipzig, who have won just one of their last nine Bundesliga games.

According to Sport Bild, the Dutchman's attitude is causing problems off the pitch.

The report claims that it's difficult to get through to the 21-year-old with advice and guidance because of his ego and belief in himself, and that this has led to unrest in the dressing room.

It's also claimed that Simons is increasingly doing what he wants, with the attacking midfielder and his representatives reportedly cancelling or accepting media and sponsorship appointments as they please.

RB Leipzig made Xavi Simons' loan move from Paris Saint-Germain permanent in January 2025 for a reported fee of €50 million.

The Dutchman's contract with Leipzig runs until 2027, but a summer move is not unlikely.
