The elimination against PSG hurt Barcelona very badly. Even if confidence in Xavi seems intact, since the club made it official that it was going to continue the adventure only a few days after this defeat, this new European failure leaves its mark. It symbolizes in particular the fact that today, Barça is no longer part of the European elite. Where PSG managed to find a place…
A difficult observation for many to accept, and a negative spiral which seems difficult to reverse, in particular because the financial situation of the club is disastrous. It must still be emphasized that La Masia is rather productive at the moment, and that it is still releasing some great gems which can allow the people of Barcelona to have a little hope for the years to come.
An operation well underway
It will therefore be necessary, as has already been the case in recent transfer windows, to strengthen ourselves by targeting good deals. And as explained El Chiringuito, Barça could have found one in Paris. And he’s a veteran of the house: Xavi Simons. The Dutch attacking midfielder is a hit in Leipzig and the Catalans would like to bring him back. For a season, at least.
Barça is already working on this file and relations with PSG have recently improved, which facilitates a loan. The two managements would have discussed this issue during the pre-match meal, and the Catalans are very optimistic. The main person concerned would be very attracted by the idea of being loaned to FC Barcelona for a season. However, we imagine that Luis Enrique will have a say in this matter, since he could make the decision to keep the player who scored 7 goals and provided 11 assists in 30 Bundesliga matches.
