In a dramatic twist that has stunned the European football scene, Dutch sensation Xavi Simons has officially handed in a transfer request to his current club, declaring his desire to join Bundesliga high-flyers VfB Stuttgart.
The 22-year-old attacking midfielder, currently one of the brightest young talents in Europe, has made it clear to management that his ambition lies in playing UEFA Champions League football next season — and he believes Stuttgart is the perfect stage for his next chapter.
Speaking to close confidants, Simons is reported to have said:
“My heart belongs to VfB Stuttgart. I want to play Champions League football, and I believe in the project they are building. This is where I see my future.”
Simons’ bold move comes after weeks of speculation linking him to several European giants. Yet, despite interest from the likes of Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain, and AC Milan, the Dutchman has his sights firmly set on the Mercedes-Benz Arena.
Sources suggest that Stuttgart’s recent surge in the Bundesliga, coupled with their aggressive transfer strategy, has impressed Simons. The club is reportedly preparing a record-breaking bid to secure his services before the transfer window closes.
Stuttgart’s Sporting Director Fabian Wohlgemuth has so far remained tight-lipped on negotiations, but insiders hint that personal terms between the player and the German side have already been discussed, with Simons eager to slot into Sebastian Hoeneß’s attacking midfield role.
If completed, the deal would not only mark one of Stuttgart’s most ambitious signings in decades but also send a powerful message to their rivals — that the club intends to challenge both domestically and in Europe.
For Simons, this is more than a career decision; it’s a statement of intent. The young star, known for his exceptional dribbling, vision, and versatility, is betting big on Stuttgart’s ability to provide the stage he craves to shine among Europe’s elite.
The coming days will be decisive, but one thing is certain — Xavi Simons has made his choice, and the football world is watching closely.
