Neymar reunited with former PSG team-mate Xavi Simons and will face him as an opponent when Santos and RB Leipzig play a club friendly on Wednesday.

Manchester City have identified Xavi Simons as a potential alternative to Rayan Cherki if they do not reach an agreement to sign the Lyon ace.

Barcelona's search for an offensive reinforcement could lead them to a shock reunion with Xavi Simons, who wants to leave RB Leipzig this summer.

Bayern Munich have reportedly reignited their interest in RB Leipzig star Xavi Simons after missing out on Florian Wirtz and Nico Williams. The Bundesliga giants have made an enquiry about the 22-year-old, who wants to leave Leipzig just six months after joining permanently from Paris Saint-Germain. Die Rekordmeister see the former Barcelona star as a key solution to their attacking shortage.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank compared Xavi Simons to Liverpool's Florian Wirtz as the playmakers continue to struggle for form since swapping the Bundesliga for the Premier League in the summer. Simons left RB Leipzig to complete his move to Spurs, while Wirtz joined the Reds from former German champions Bayer Leverkusen as the Merseyside broke the British transfer record at that time.
