Liverpool want to sign player who hates Barcelona and PSG

Xavi Simons has become one of the sensations of European football at the start of the season. His performances for PSV Eindhoven are key to his side's qualification for the next round of the UEFA Europa League and their battle for the Eredivisie title with Ajax. The Dutchman, who will be part of the Netherlands squad for the Qatar 2022 World Cup, is in the sights of several major European teams ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window.

Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool are a fan of his game due to his ability to verticalise the play and technical quality, which fits perfectly with what the team needs. He is a midfielder who can support names like Thiago Alcantara, Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott. He fits perfectly into the club's renewal plan. He will have to battle it out with Arsenal, who have been impressed with the Dutchman's performances in the two games against PSV in the UEFA Europa League. Mikel Arteta sees him as an ideal profile to boost their midfield and add quality. For the Spaniard, he fits perfectly into his system and the club's project.

Another team that wants Simons is AC Milan who are looking for a creative profile in three quarters of the pitch in order to have a top level attack with names like Rafael Leao, Charles De Ketelaere and Brahim Diaz. Xavi Simons is a profile that can contribute both in terms of play and record, considering his impressive performance at the start of the season in Dutch football.

According to Dutch newspaper Voetbal International, PSG have a clause in Xavi Simons' contract with PSV Eindhoven to buy him back in the coming markets. The figure is between 10 and 12 million euros, a very low price if we take into account his current performance and constant evolution. The Parisian side do not rule out the possibility of activating the clause in order to get the young Dutchman back, considering that he has the potential to be one of the best players in the world and to be part of the renovation project that Luis Campos is building.

Simons was not taken care of by Barcelona

Simons criticised Barcelona from whom he left in the summer of 2019 once he accepted an offer from the French side. Simons took aim at FC Barcelona's working methodology, claiming that there is little physical work and a lot of football and tactics, which explained his adaptation and his late explosion in professional football when he was considered one of the best promises of world football. "Believe me, at Barça you don't work much in the gym, you work with the ball, but not in the gym. When I arrived at PSG I found the differences.... At PSG they worked in the gym. The French league was very physical and I saw the differences straight away".
