The game of musical chairs is about to be unblocked on this transfer market. Until now, the files were struggling to move forward.

Which brings us to another case, that of Xavi Simons. Neither PSG nor the player want to continue together, at least this season. According to information from Imagethe Parisian management asked the Dutchman’s courtiers, Bayern Munich in the lead, to be patient, the time for them to attract the star recruit of their transfer window (Osimhen) in order to relieve the supporters after the departure of Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid. Thus, the famous photo of Xavi Simons on social networks, a Uno card “change of meaning”, which can be interpreted by a transfer, would not be due to chance…
