According to information from Spanish media, the Catalan club hopes to secure a player from PSG this summer. The elimination against PSG was a heavy blow for Barcelona.
Even though confidence in Xavi seems intact, as the club officially announced he would continue leading the team just a few days after that defeat, this latest European failure leaves its mark. It symbolizes the fact that Barcelona is no longer among Europe’s elite, unlike PSG, which has managed to establish itself.
This realization is difficult for many to accept, and it represents a negative spiral that seems hard to reverse, particularly because of the club’s dire financial situation. Nevertheless, it should be noted that La Masia is currently quite productive, still producing promising talents that may offer some hope for Barcelona in the years to come.
A well-initiated operation
Therefore, just like in recent transfer windows, Barcelona will need to strengthen by targeting good deals. As El Chiringuito explains, Barcelona might have found one in Paris. And it’s a former member of the club: Xavi Simons. The Dutch attacking midfielder is excelling at Leipzig, and Barcelona would like to bring him back, at least for a season.
Barcelona is already working on this deal, and relations with PSG have recently improved, making a loan easier. The two clubs have reportedly discussed this matter during a pre-match meal, and Barcelona is feeling very optimistic. The player himself is reportedly very attracted to the idea of being loaned to FC Barcelona for a season. However, it is likely that Luis Enrique will have a say in this matter, as he could decide to keep the player who has scored 7 goals and provided 11 assists in 30 Bundesliga appearances.
