Barcelona handed major boost in pursuit of reunion with Paris Saint-Germain’s Xavi Simons

In recent weeks, Barcelona have been very heavily linked with a summer move for Xavi Simons. The 21-year-old is expected to leave Paris Saint-Germain before the start of next season, and a return to Catalonia – where he was a part of La Masia – appears to be a strong possibility.

Simons reportedly has no plans to remain at PSG for the 2024-25 campaign, and MD now say that he won’t be blocked from leaving. A permanent departure has been ruled out, but a loan will be allowed, and the Dutch playmaker will be able to choose where he plays his football.

This is good news for Barcelona, as multiple reports have stated that Simons wants to return to the club. Xavi Hernandez sees him as a priority signing, and his arrival would significant boost his options in midfield and attack.

It remains to be seen whether Barcelona can get a deal over the line during the summer transfer window. It would be a very shrewd piece of business, especially given their ongoing financial woes.
