Barcelona’s hopes of securing Paris Saint-Germain’s Xavi Simons are facing stiff competition, with a slew of major clubs vying for his talents. While Barcelona is in the mix, their chances remain uncertain given the intense competition.

Simons is slated to discuss his future with PSG, leaning towards either a loan deal or a transfer valued at €60-70 million. The latter scenario could potentially rule out Barcelona’s bid.

In addition to Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen has also thrown their hat into the ring for Simons. Premier League powerhouses Chelsea, Manchester United, and Newcastle United are also keen on the midfielder.

While Barcelona may offer sentimental value and a potential starting role, Simons prioritizes his development, which could lead him elsewhere. Other clubs boast more stable projects, and the prospect of working under the exciting management of Xabi Alonso adds to their appeal.
