Barcelona have been given hope they can sign Xavi Simons in the summer transfer window due to a clause in his current contract.
Xavi is already said to have asked Deco to try and bring in Simons and the rumor mill has now offered an update on the situation.
Mundo Deportivo are reporting Simons has a clause that lets him his choose his destination if he goes out on loan again – and he wants Barcelona.
Simons is said to have a meeting scheduled with PSG chief Nasser Al Khelaïfi to discuss his future amid interest from Xavi’s side.
And that’s likely the part where it gets tricky. Simons is said to be keen to return, but you can imagine PSG aren’t mad about the idea of him moving to Barcelona.
The 21-year-old has spent the season on loan with RB Leipzig, and impressed in the Bundesliga, but is now due back to his parent club where a decision will need to be made.
Barcelona’s financial situation means a loan is the only way they can land Simons right now as PSG would not let him leave for less than €100 million.
