Manchester United target Xavi Simons is yet to decide his future, according to RB Leipzig boss Marco Rose.
Simons, who shone for the Netherlands at Euro 2024, spent last season on loan at Leipzig from his parent club Paris Saint Germain.
A range of top European clubs have been linked with the attacking midfielder.
Leipzig themselves are hopeful of completing a return for Simons, 21.
“I am still optimistic that we can definitely keep our top players here because they want to stay here too because they know what they have in Leipzig because they have made good steps here,” he told Sky Sports Germany.
“Xavi told me on the last phone call, ‘Coach, I’m fine, I’m going on holiday now and I’m turning off my mobile phone’. And I haven’t heard anything since then.
“It’s the transfer period. And we notice that some clubs everywhere are still signing players, but they also have to let go.”
Rose added: “We hope that the boy comes back. I said, ‘We are still working on it, we are optimistic’. And somehow he is still one of our players, even though we have no control over him. For me, Xavi is an RB player, whatever the outcome.”
