Like Olmo, Xavi Simons left Barcelona while he was still at the Masia. At 16, he chose to join Paris Saint-Germain, where he stayed until 2023, before joining the RB Leipzig, Bundesliga club.
Simons is likely to leave Leipzig this summer, many clubs being interested in his recruitment, but the one he covets most does not seem ready to yield. This is what Fabrizio Romano asserts, who revealed that the 21 -year -old dreams of returning to Barcelona at some point in his career.
Xavi Simons only wants Barça
Xavi Simons plans a summer transfer as a concrete possibility, as announced a few weeks ago. Premier League clubs are informed, because it is the most likely destination for a transfer of around 75 million euros from the RB Leipzig. Xavi dreams of playing for Barcelona one day, but it's not for this summer.
Too expensive for Barça
The presence of Olmo in Barcelona means that a player as Simons is not particularly necessary, especially since Hansi Flick also has Gavi, Fermin Lopez and Pablo Torre as options in the post of attacking midfielder. In addition, Guille Fernandez, a very promising player at the Masia, campaigned for a place in the first team.
If Simons were to join the Premier League this summer, it would certainly reduce its chances of joining Barcelona in the future, especially if the Catalans continue to have trouble solving their financial problems. This could come to mind when he plans to put an end to his stay in Leipzig.
