FC Barcelona continues working on planning for the next season with the goal of strengthening several key positions. Deco, Laporta, and Flick have their priorities clear, but the economic situation limits any movement. To sign players, it will be essential to make sales and adjust spending to the limit of Financial Fair Play.
In addition to internal problems, Barça also faces strong competition in the market. Some of their targets have attracted interest from other clubs, making certain operations even more difficult. In recent hours, a Premier League giant has stepped forward with a multimillion-dollar offer.
Deco and Laporta rule out the signing
The reality is that FC Barcelona is not in a position to take on an expense of this magnitude. Although the interest is real, Manchester United's bid has ultimately ruled out any attempt at negotiation. Camp Nou will watch from afar as this talent heads to Old Trafford.
Barça's management already suffered a setback last year when they tried to close his signing. At that time, PSG decided to block any possibility of negotiation with Barça. Now, the high price and the pressure from the Premier League have sealed the deal.
Xavi Simons: The talent Deco can't sign
It is none other than Xavi Simons, who currently shines at RB Leipzig. The Dutchman, trained at La Masia, has delivered great performances in the Bundesliga and has proven to be a game-changer. His performance has attracted the interest of the best teams in the world.
In the current season, he has recorded several key assists and goals, establishing himself as one of the great promises of European soccer. PSG no longer has control over his future, and everything points to him playing in the Premier League next season.
Manchester United: An almost certain destination
The English are convinced that Xavi Simons can be a top-level addition to their project. With the €80M investment, Manchester United hopes to finalize his signing in the coming weeks. Everything indicates that his future will be far from Camp Nou.
At FC Barcelona, they assume that his return is practically impossible. The financial situation and the priority of strengthening other positions have weighed more than the nostalgia for his past at La Masia. Thus, Xavi Simons bids farewell to the possibility of wearing the blaugrana.
