Barcelona's Strategy to Bring Back Xavi Simons
Barcelona explores leveraging Joan Laporta's close relationship with Darren Dein, agent of Xavi Simons, to facilitate the midfielder's return to Camp Nou.
Barcelona is exploring creative solutions to strengthen its squad for future seasons while navigating its current economic challenges. According to reports from 'El Periodico,' the Catalan club is maintaining strong relationships with influential agents to optimize its transfer market activity.
Darren Dein, agent of Xavi Simons, has emerged as a key figure in this strategy. Dein played a pivotal role in securing Barcelona's lucrative partnership with Nike, a deal valued at €1.7 billion through 2038. His close ties with Barcelona's president, Joan Laporta, could pave the way for Simons's return.
Xavi Simons, a product of Barcelona's famed La Masia academy, left the club in 2019 after nine years due to financial disagreements. Since then, he has played for Paris Saint-Germain, PSV Eindhoven, and currently represents RB Leipzig on loan.
With Simons valued at €80 million, Barcelona is weighing its options to bring back the midfielder who once symbolized the future of the club. Laporta's network of influential agents, including Dein, could play a decisive role in shaping this transfer.
