Xavi Simons is dreaming of one day making his return to FC Barcelona, but for now, the Spanish club are not focusing on the Tottenham midfielder.
The 22-year-old has not had an easy debut campaign at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, producing just five goals and six assists in 40 matches.
What grade do you give Xavi Simons’ time at Tottenham so far? 🤔
Now, with relegation to the Championship becoming a very realistic possibility, Simons could once again be on the move this summer.
Some clubs remain ‘very interested’ in signing the youngster, and an exit from Spurs in the summer could well be possible for the midfielder.
Clubs are ‘very interested’ in signing Xavi Simons from Tottenham
Tottenham Hotspur attacker Xavi Simons still has plenty of clubs that remain keen to sign him in the summer, according to Fabrizio Romano.
At this stage, Barcelona are not focused on signing Simons, given the fact that he would cost at least £40 million in the summer.
Romano told his YouTube channel: “Can Xavi Simons go to Barcelona? Many reports about Barcelona. Obviously, it was not an easy season for Xavi Simons at Tottenham, but I think in some moments it’s been a complicated situation for everyone at Tottenham.
“I also believe that in some moments, for example, in the Champions League, you can see the clear quality of Xavi Simons.
💰 How much is Xavi Simons now worth to Tottenham after sigining him for £51m?
“So there are clubs still very interested in Xavi Simons, who is still very young. But at the moment, on the exit of Xavi Simons from Tottenham, I don’t have any information, any guaranteed information.”
With several clubs seemingly following his situation, Simons could be one of the high-profile departures from Spurs this summer.
Xavi Simons ‘dreams’ of returning to Barcelona
Simons is ‘dreaming’ of returning to Barcelona in the future, having spent several years at the club’s famed academy, La Masia.
“I think we’ll always be there when it’s time to speak about Xavi Simons. Why? Xavi Simons was a player at the Barcelona Academy at La Masia,” added Romano.
“Xavi Simons, I also told you last summer, before he made it, he made his move to Premier League football. I told you one day Xavi Simons dreams of playing for Barcelona.
“It’s the player’s dream one day to wear a Barca shirt. But at the moment, there is zero ongoing between Barcelona and Xavi Simons. Barca are focused on different things.”
Should Spurs remain in the Premier League, the North London club likely look to keep Simons and build around him.
