Barcelona and Manchester City are interested in recruiting Xavi Simons next summer, though Paris Saint-Germain are unwilling to let their player go, 90min reports.
PSG surprised everyone by re-signing Simons this summer. The Ligue 1 champions took advantage of the buy-back clause, written in the footballer's contract with PSV Eindhoven, convincing the Dutchman to join their project for the second time.
Right after his PSG return, Simons was sent on loan to RB Leipzig, and now the prospect is doing great in the Bundesliga. However, while Simons continues to shine in the Red Bulls camp, various big clubs are already interested in securing his services, namely Manchester City and Barcelona.
Given Simmons' current shape, PSG could demand a huge fee in case they decide to sell their attacking midfielder. Nevertheless, the Red and Blues are in no hurry to let their starlet go, as they see him in their plans for next year.
Real Madrid in search of No.9

Real Madrid no longer consider it possible to play without a consistent "nine" in the attacking line.
Karim Benzema's departure was certainly a hard blow for the Merengues, and despite rookie Joselu giving his best to somehow replace the Frenchman, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is keen on the idea of acquiring a high-profile number 'nine' next summer.
PSG's Kylian Mbappe remains Los Blancos' number one option, however, if talks get stalled once again, Napoli striker Victor Osimhen will become Madrid's plan B.
We would like to remind you that at the beginning of the summer, Napoli were sure of landing a new deal with Osimhen, but later on, the situation has suddenly become unclear. The recent scandal involving videos from the club's social media platforms mocking Osimhen has caused a huge misunderstanding between the Nigerian and Napoli.
Needless to say, the contract renewal is postponed indefinitely, especially if Real Madrid increase their interest further on.
