He was born in Barcelona but they kicked him out, now Pep Guardiola wants him

When he arrived at FC Barcelona at just 12 years old, he became one of the club's great promises. Everyone had a lot of expectations that he could be an established player in the first team but that did not happen. When they told him that he had no place in the professional team, he left to be able to play in other leagues in Europe. He returned to compete in the Netherlands and is currently competing in Germany, being outstanding in both countries. Pep Guardiola wants to hire him because of his high level to play for Manchester City.

Xavi Simons is the player we mentioned. He arrived at FC Barcelona when he was 12 years old but was never able to earn a place in the first team. After that experience he became a player for PSV in the Netherlands where he performed fantastically. Currently he also has a high level in Leipzig in Germany, being one of the figures in the Bundesliga.

Pep Guardiola is very attentive to his football growth and has it in the pipeline to be able to add him to Manchester City. Being able to sign Xabi Simons will not be easy because he is currently a PSG player in France. Its market value is 40 million euros. If the English team wants to buy him, they will have to put up that amount of money to be able to sign him. Xavi Simons has played in Germany competing for Leipzig in eleven official matches in which he has scored three goals and contributed four assists. Once the season ends, he must return to PSG, the team that owns his pass.

Xavi Simons continues to grow in his career as a soccer player. The 22 year old also plays for the Netherlands national team. He has already played in a World Cup when he competed in the Qatar 2022 edition and will be one of the country's new assets thinking about the future.
