On Sunday, Foot Mercato’s Santi Aouna reported that Xavi Simons won’t be with Paris Saint-Germain next season; instead, he’ll be loaned out again this summer for a third straight campaign.
Aouna also mentioned that the decision was actually made a few weeks ago. Some of the club’s executives, apart from manager Luis Enrique, have their reservations about the 21-year-old. PSG would have sold him this summer if they could, but PSV Eindhoven’s stake in any potential sale made that impossible.
This is good news for teams like FC Barcelona, who are keen on the player returning to the Spanish side after coming through their youth system before joining PSG in 2019.
Mundo Deportivo reports that Simons has done everything he can to ensure PSG will let him join Barça on loan. Now, he’s waiting for Barça to finalize the details and make their move. The 21-year-old hopes to have everything settled before the Euros start on June 14.
