Xavi Simons has been regularly linked with a return to Barcelona ever since leaving the club in 2019 and it seems the rumors are back again this summer.
Catalunya Radio claim Simons is determined to leave RB Leipzig and the report says he could be a candidate for Barcelona after the Catalans missed out on Nico Williams.
The word from Germany is that he will cost €70-80 million, a similar fee to Luis Diaz, and his ability is talked up amid talk of an exit.
The report goes on to say that “he may be the diamond in the rough that Flick’s Barça are looking for in this transfer window” but it’s not clear where the rumor comes from.
