Schafer emphasized that the club will not hinder Simons' ambitions if a suitable offer is received. He expressed the club's willingness to let Simons go if it makes financial sense, but only if the offer meets their expectations.

Schafer highlighted Simons' desire to play for a top-tier team and win titles. He believes Simons wants to prove himself at the highest level and will be open to selling him if the offer is economically viable. However, if the offer does not meet the club's financial requirements, they will keep Simons and look forward to another season with him.

RB Leipzig is seeking a significant transfer fee of £60 million for Simons.
