Xavi Simons has been linked with a summer move away from PSG, with Barcelona, Chelsea, and Manchester United keen on signing him.
Xavi Simons has been on loan at RB Leipzig this past season, and he managed to score 10 goals and pick up 15 assists in all competitions. The 21-year-old has been linked with Chelsea and Manchester United in recent weeks. However, as per Mundo Deportivo, the Dutchman has his heart set on a move to Barcelona instead.
Simons is highly rated around Europe, and he could prove to be a quality acquisition for Barcelona. The Spanish giants could use more quality in the final third, and the 21-year-old will add goals and creativity to the side. While they are keen on re-signing him, their financial issues may force them to look for a cheaper alternative.
It remains to be seen whether PSG are prepared to sell the player this summer. They need more quality after the departure of Kylian Mbappe, and the French outfit might decide to hold on to Simons. He is a prodigious talent with a bright future ahead of himself and he could develop into a key player for PSG in the long-term.
Chelsea and Manchester United need someone like Xavi Simons
Chelsea could use a versatile attacker like Simons as well. They need goals and creativity in the final third. The Blues have struggled to score goals consistently this season, and they will need to improve in that department if they want to challenge major trophies next term. The Blues have missed out on Champions League qualification as well.
A club of Chelsea’s stature should be competing in the Champions League and pushing for trophies regularly. Someone like Simons could make a big difference for them. Similarly, Manchester United will have to improve their attacking unit, and the attacker could prove to be a quality long-term investment for them.
The Dutchman is capable of operating in the wide areas as well as in the central attacking midfield role. Simons has the quality to thrive in the Premier League, and he could develop into a key player for both clubs.
Even though the player wants to join Barcelona, the Spanish club are going through financial difficulties, and they might not be able to get the deal done. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
