Barcelona get massive boost in pursuit of €80 million midfield target – report

Barcelona are on the brink of concluding the season with no trophies to boast of, but steps are being taken at the club headquarters to ensure such occurrences do not resurface.

Apart from labeling the defensive midfield position a top priority, fortifications in attack are also not ruled out, especially with Lamine Yamal considered Barcelona’s only ‘untouchable’ upfront.

As such, the signing of Xavi Simons has been gaining much traction, a multifaceted player who is known for his exceptional vision and creativity.

PSG will not present many obstacles

Simons left Barcelona for PSG in 2019, and after struggling to make a name for himself in Paris, he began realizing his full potential on loan at RB Leipzig.

Now, as he nears a return to his parent club, another loan exit is being contemplated, with Barcelona in pole position to acquire their former La Masia gem’s services.

Indeed, according to Mundo Deportivo even if Xavi Simons’ loan destination is Barcelona, PSG will not present any obstructions.

Barça are aware of this guarantee in full, and the conditions are well placed for a loan deal to materialize.

Simons on the same page

Xavi Simons, for his part, is eager to join forces with his boyhood club. Reports have argued that the Dutch international is willing to do everything in his power for a transfer to take place.

Despite never making the leap to Barcelona’s first team, Simons’ choice is clear: he is determined to return to his roots.

Considering the club is strapped for cash, a temporary loan acquisition of one of Europe’s hottest young prospects is sure to be a breath of fresh air for Barcelona.
