Xavi Simons left Barcelona for PSG in July 2019, presumably hoping he’d breakthrough more quickly with the French club, and almost certainly picking up a big pay rise in the process.
Last season he made a very brief Ligue 1 appearance for the Paris club, and also got some minutes in the Coup de France. He was on the bench for around a third of PSG’s Ligue 1 appearances, but this season he hasn’t been part of Mauricio Pochettino’s match-day squad once.
With a PSG contract expiring at the end of the season, there’s been talk of a return to Barcelona, something Sport cover on Tuesday. The Catalan newspaper explain that whilst the Blaugrana haven’t ruled out bringing the 18-year-old back to the club, they have other priorities in the market.
Barcelona don’t close the door on future negotiations to sign Simons as a free agent, however, there’s no effort being made right now in that regard.
return.Mino Raiola represents the player and has pushed his name forward to Barcelona in other negotiations.
Despite all of that, there doesn’t seem a great deal of excitement about the potential signing.
