Barcelona has lost its chances of securing an important transfer during the summer market due to the stubbornness of Paris Saint-Germain. Barcelona was targeting the signing of Dutch star Xavi Simons, who is very close to leaving Paris Saint-Germain. According to the Spanish newspaper "Sport," Barcelona lost its opportunity to acquire Simons because Bayern Munich entered the race to sign the Dutch winger, in addition to Paris's unwillingness to let their player move to Barcelona.
The report indicated that Simons will definitely leave Paris this summer, as he does not want to spend another season sitting on the bench. It was explained that Simons will hold a meeting with Paris in July following the Euros to finalize his future, with Bayern Munich currently being the closest destination for him next season. The newspaper mentioned that Max Eberl, the new sporting director of Bayern Munich, is a major supporter of the deal, as he was the one who signed Simons at Leipzig and maintains a good relationship with the player and his agents.
