'They are pushing': Fabrizio Romano reveals Barca's boost in Xavi Simons race

RB Leipzig can't afford Xavi Simons' permanent move, reports Fabrizio Romano.

Barcelona are pushing for the loan, although Leipzig and several Premier League clubs are also interested in it.

The Dutchman will decide the future with Paris Saint-Germain in July, after the Euros.

Earlier, it was reported that PSG were negotiating a permanent move with RB Leipzig. Since it's not possible, it should really open the door for Simons' Barcelona comeback.

Simons was part of La Masia from 2010 to 2019 before he left the club for PSG for free.
