He excelled at Leipzig last season, scoring eight goals and providing 13 assists last season, followed by three assists and a goal at Euro 2024.
He will now return to the German club, where he will have the opportunity to play Champions League football and build on last season's last-16 exit to Real Madrid.
Leipzig has also secured the services of striker Benjamin Sesko for another season, while Lois Openda, who was only outscored by Harry Kane and Serhou Guirassy in the 2023/24 Bundesliga, remains a key player for the team.
Simons' return is expected to strengthen Leipzig's squad as they aim to improve on last season's performance.
