Barcelona’s Reunion Dream: Xavi Simons Loan Move Gains Momentum

 

With encouraging signs emerging ahead of the summer transfer window, Barcelona’s efforts to reunite with former La Masia phenom Xavi Simons have gained a substantial boost.

 

 

 

Simons has been a spectacular player this season and has caught the attention of his boyhood club, Barcelona. He is now on loan at RB Leipzig. The 21-year-old midfielder, who joined Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in 2019 after graduating from Barcelona’s esteemed academy, is now eager to perhaps return to Catalonia.

 

Reputable transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano disclosed that PSG had started talking to Simons’ agents. PSG has stated unequivocally that they do not plan to permanently sell Simons this summer. However, a loan transfer seems to be the most likely consequence if the player is not motivated to stay in Paris.

 

 

Importantly, if Simons goes out on loan, Barcelona will have a much better chance of obtaining his services since he will be able to choose where he ends up. Simons is a desirable candidate for Barcelona because of his development into a versatile and dynamic midfielder during his career at RB Leipzig and his prior successful stints at PSV.

 

Simons would be coming full circle if he returned to Barcelona, having spent almost ten years perfecting his craft at La Masia. Both supporters and club officials are eager for the prospective reunion because they want to see the gifted midfield player play for the Blaugranas once more.

 

Supporters of Barcelona will be anxiously watching any updates as the summer transfer window draws near, hoping that Simons’ return home materializes.
