Barcelona are targeting a move for Xavi Simons, the Dutch attacking midfielder, in the upcoming summer transfer window. Simons could return to the club after several years away.
He is currently facing a difficult period at Tottenham Hotspur, the club he joined last summer from RB Leipzig for around €65 million. If the English club is relegated, he may be forced to seek a new team, opening the door for Barcelona to closely monitor his situation.
