Premier League
FC Barcelona is once again looking to the market with the intention of reinforcing their squad with young and proven talent. In recent weeks, the possibility of Xavi Simons returning to the club has gained strength, a move that could become one of the great opportunities in the upcoming transfer window.
The Dutch attacking midfielder is going through a delicate period at Tottenham, the club he joined last summer in a significant transfer from RB Leipzig. However, the future of the London-based team could change drastically if a potential relegation alters their planning. This scenario has piqued the interest of FC Barcelona, who is closely monitoring the player's situation.
FC Barcelona monitoring Xavi Simons' situation at Tottenham
The possibility of Xavi Simons leaving Tottenham has started to gain traction in the European market. The player, who joined the English club for around 65 million euros, might be forced to seek an exit if the London club faces relegation.
According to various reports from England, the player is not considering the option of playing in the second division. For this reason, Xavi Simons has already initiated contact with his agent to explore potential destinations if Tottenham's sporting scenario becomes complicated.
In this context, FC Barcelona emerges, a club that is familiar with the player. The Dutch attacking midfielder went through Barcelona's youth academy in his early formative years before embarking on his European football journey.
The sports management of FC Barcelona believes that his return could fit perfectly into the sports project. He is a creative player, capable of operating between the lines, with an offensive profile that would align with the team's style.

Tottenham could accept a sale for 40 million euros
Xavi Simons' contractual situation could present an unexpected opportunity for FC Barcelona. If Tottenham ends up being relegated, the London club might be compelled to reduce their wage bill and sell some significant assets.
In this scenario, the transfer of the Dutch player could be finalized for an amount close to 40 million euros, significantly lower than the 65 million paid just a few months ago.
For FC Barcelona, such a deal would be seen as a very interesting market opportunity. The Catalan club has always appreciated the player's talent, and his progress in European football has reinforced that perception.
Chelsea also monitoring Xavi Simons
FC Barcelona's interest is not exclusive in this pursuit. Chelsea has also started to monitor Xavi Simons' situation, aware that Tottenham's relegation could create several market opportunities.
The London club has the financial muscle to compete in any negotiation and could try to preempt other interested clubs. This would prompt FC Barcelona to act swiftly if they want real chances to secure the signing.
Despite this competition, the emotional factor could play a significant role. Xavi Simons has always maintained a special relationship with FC Barcelona, the club where he took his first steps as a footballer before beginning his professional career.
At the Camp Nou offices, they believe his profile fits the idea of strengthening the squad with young players who still have room to grow. Moreover, the estimated price of 40 million euros would be acceptable compared to other market operations.
There are currently no official negotiations underway, but the monitoring is constant. If Tottenham's sporting scenario complicates in the coming months, FC Barcelona could definitively move for Xavi Simons, seizing an opportunity that could be around 40 million euros.
