Barcelona’s pursuit of Paris Saint-Germain’s Xavi Simons faces stiff competition, with six major clubs vying for his signature. While Barcelona is among them, their chances of securing a deal are uncertain.
Simons is set to discuss his future with PSG, with both parties leaning towards either a loan move or a transfer fee in the range of €60-70 million. The latter scenario would likely exclude Barcelona from contention.
Recently, Bayern Munich’s Sporting Director Max Eberl expressed interest in Simons, and now Bayer Leverkusen from the Bundesliga is also in the mix. Premier League giants Chelsea, Manchester United, and Newcastle United are also eyeing a potential move for the talented midfielder.
Although no concrete offers have been made yet, the lure of a loan move to Barcelona, coupled with the sentimental attachment and the promise of a starting role, could appeal to Simons. However, his priority seems to be his development, and other clubs may offer more stable projects. Xabi Alonso’s exciting managerial prospects also add to the allure of other potential destinations.
