Barcelona wonderkid Xavi Simons has announced his departure from the Catalan club and now looks set to complete a move to French champions Paris Saint-Germain.
The 16-year-old took to social media to announce his decision, which came as something of a shock considering the high regard in which he is held in the Barça youth system.
As reported by Goal, the champions of La Liga had offered the youngster a €100k-a-year deal to stay in the club's La Masia academy programme but he has instead opted to move on.
The Dutch teenager only announced his departure on Tuesday morning, but just a matter of hours later, he was spotted at the headquarters of Paris Saint-Germain, for whom he is expected to sign shortly.
