In Barcelona they are waiting for the future of Lionel Messi, who has his days numbered in Paris Saint Germain, since his contract ends at the end of the season and everything indicates that there will be no renewal with the Parisians. Joan Laporta is very attentive to Leo's situation and will take advantage of the exact moment to bid for him.

The desire of the Argentine is to continue a couple of years in Europe showing that he is still at the peak of his career. For this reason, he would not see a possible return to FC Barcelona at all, a club where he spent practically his entire football career and where he is very interested in Xavi Hernández's project for next season.

However, Messi is not the only footballer that Barça follows closely. In the last few hours, there has been strong interest in one of the club's former homegrown players who is currently working on it in the Netherlands in the Eredivise. However, this footballer is closely watched by PSG and could be a problem for Xavi.

And speaking of Xavi... we are referring to Xavi Simons, the great figure of PSV Eindhoven, the club he joined this season and has already scored 16 goals and 8 assists in 39 games. As reported by Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona have him on their agenda of young attackers who could become signings for next season.

How much does PSV ask for Xavi Simons?

If Barcelona wishes to have the services of the 19-year-old youth, they must pay around 30 million euros, a value that PSV has given Simons. However, the Dutch team is in full negotiations to renew said contract and with itself, raise its exit clause to a higher amount.
