Seeming to refuse to renew his contract with PSG which will end in June, Xavi Simons would have in mind a return to FC Barcelona or a new experience at Real Madrid. But with the two Spanish giants, we would not be on the same wavelength.

In the space of a little over two years, when he arrived from FC Barcelona, ​​Xavi Simons (18 years old) has clearly not made a concrete place for himself within the Paris group, with the exception of an appearance with the first team last April against Strasbourg . And while his contract expires next June, the question of his future is talking behind the scenes and in the press. Journalist Fabrizio Romano recently announced that Mino Raiola would refuse in the current state to encourage his client to renew his contract, wishing upstream to ensure that his playing time with the team coached by Mauricio Pochettino would be more consequent. But as it stands, the PSG coach did not make such a promise during his press conference last Friday. “My staff and I have always liked using young people. (…) The fact of playing with young people makes him feel important, and there he can continue to progress. Our past work speaks for itself, it's not just words. We would like to be able to count on these young people in the future. But it is a problem of the structure, which makes it difficult for these young people to find a place for themselves ”. What to throw a cold on the future of Xavi Simons at PSG , which would have already been decided according to the Iberian press.

No effort from PSG to convince Simons to extend…

According to information from El Nacional, Xavi Simons (18 years old) has already made his choice regarding the rest of his young career. With his agent Mino Raiola , the Dutch midfielder would have made the decision to pack up at the end of the season, that is to say at the end of his contract. Besides, Nasser Al Khelaïfi would not hide his internal disappointment with this decision and would even be determined not to lift a finger in an attempt to convince Xavi Simons to review his position on the question.

… Raiola tried to place him at FC Barcelona, ​​but…

But El Nacional did not stop at a single point on the situation of Xavi Simons at PSG . Iberian media further revealed that the Dutchman’s name was said to have been mentioned during an interview between Joan Laporta , FC Barcelona , and his agent Mino Raiola during a conversation on the files Erling Braut Haaland and Paul Pogba, both represented by Raiola. Nevertheless, FC Barcelona would feel betrayed by the choice of Xavi Simons to pack up in 2019 when the club culé founded great hopes in its old nugget. For this reason, FC Barcelona would refuse to repatriate Xavi Simons, even at zero cost.

… and Real Madrid would have doubts!

According to information disclosed by El Nacional, the entourage of Xavi Simons would have moved to Madrid to meet with the senior representatives of Real Madrid and to offer the services of the player of PSG at the Casa Blanca. Nevertheless, President Florentino Pérez would doubt that this operation would benefit him and in particular because of the bad operation carried out with Takefusa Kubo which resulted in multiple loans with payment of salaries. Everything would therefore be blocked for the moment for Xavi Simons , it remains to be seen what will be the future of the PSG player from now on.
