PSG loanee Xavi Simons is reportedly eager to make a return to Barcelona, with plans to activate a “contractual commitment” that allows him to choose his loan destination.
Simons, who has been showcasing his talent on loan at RB Leipzig, has caught the attention of Barcelona amidst their rebuilding phase. However, the Catalan club is unable to meet PSG’s demands for a permanent transfer, rumored to be around €100 million.
Despite the complexities between Barcelona and PSG, Simons holds the autonomy to select his loan destination for the upcoming season, as per his contractual agreement. This opens the door for a potential return to his boyhood club.
Having contributed significantly at Leipzig with nine goals in 40 appearances this season, Simons’ performances have sparked Barcelona’s interest. Named after current Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez, Simons shares a deep connection with the club.
Negotiations are underway, with Simons and his representatives set to meet with PSG president Nasser Al Khelaifi to finalize the loan move to Barcelona. With both the player’s aspirations and Barcelona’s interests aligned, the stage is set for a significant chapter in Simons’ career as he seeks to fulfill his childhood dream of representing Barcelona once again.
