Xavi Simons sets the stage for his future, a dramatic twist for Araujo’s destiny, Rooney’s scathing comments on Manchester United—discover the latest in European sports news in your Foot Mercato press review.
Heading home for Xavi Simons?
As the season slowly winds down, clubs are beginning to prepare for the future! Barça, despite limited resources, is likely to be active this summer. Inside its pages, Mundo Deportivo drops a bombshell about the future of Xavi Simons. With a return to PSG becoming increasingly unlikely, the Dutchman reportedly has a preference. While RB Leipzig still hopes to keep him, the attacking midfielder is not ruling out a return to Barça. It’s worth noting that the 21-year-old was trained at La Masia before turning professional with the Rouge et Bleu. It remains to be seen if PSG will let him go to a rival.
Barça aims high for Araujo
To make purchases, FC Barcelona will first need to sell. In this regard, the Catalan management has made a significant decision to put Ronald Araujo up for sale, as revealed by Sport in its pages. Barça has thus changed its mind about its defender, who was considered non-transferable just a few months ago. However, his performance in the Champions League quarter-finals against PSG must have shifted opinions. According to the newspaper, Barça is awaiting offers for their player and has set his price at €100M. It remains to be seen if Bayern Munich, which had made him a top priority, is still interested.
Rooney comes to Ten Hag’s defense
At Manchester United, there’s significant turmoil! The Daily Mail covers the fierce remarks made by legend Rooney following Manchester United’s defeat to Arsenal. According to the former English striker, certain players are hiding. One man is targeted, namely Casemiro. Positioned at center back to compensate for injuries, the Brazilian is guilty of a serious misplacement on the goal by the Gunners. He returned at a trot, which allowed Havertz to stay onside. The Red Devils’ legend accuses some players of pretending and hiding behind injuries as the Euro approaches, particularly to avoid injuries. The atmosphere is tense.
