Xavi Simons wants Barcelona return! PSG loanee to push for Camp Nou transfer as he plans to execute 'contractual commitment'

Amidst Barcelona's quest to navigate through financial constraints and rebuild their squad, they have turned their attention to Simons, the 21-year-old midfielder who has been impressive on loan at RB Leipzig from PSG, according to Mundo Deportivo. However, the Catalan club cannot match PSG's demands for €100 million (£86.09/$107.41m) for a permanent transfer and are looking to thrash out a loan deal for the midfielder, who played for the club's academy in his youth.

Despite the complex and difficult relationship between Barcelona and PSG, Simons holds a "contractual commitment" that grants him the autonomy to select his loan destination for the upcoming season. This provision potentially paves the way for the La Masia graduate to return to his boyhood club.

Simons has made significant contributions on the field at Leipzig with nine goals in 40 appearances this season. His performances have piqued Barcelona's interest in the midfielder, who was named 'Xavi' after the current Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez.

Simons and his representatives are set to meet with PSG president Nasser Al Khelaifi to secure validation for his loan move to Barcelona. The Dutch midfielder's willingness to fulfil his childhood dream of representing Barcelona adds impetus to the negotiations. With negotiations already underway and the player's aspirations aligned with Barcelona's ambitions, the stage is set for a significant chapter in Simons' career.
