Barça has let go two 'jewels' formed at La Masia who are shining in Europe after overcoming several bumps. Both Xavi Simons and Take Kubo managed to recover from their failed time at Can Barça, a duo that could have given a lot to the club
Xavi Simons and Takefusa Kubo have settled this season in the European elite. The Dutch has taken him out benefit to his cession to the RB Leipzig, adding 7 goals and 9 assistances in 27 parties, whereas the Japanese follows leaving good performances in his second season with the Real Sociedad. His offensive contribution with the 'donostiarras' summary in 6 goals and 4 assistances in 25 apparitions, 6 of them by Champions.
In this sense, fits the doubt of what both footballers would have attained with the FC Barcelona if the club there were them repescado. Both have the capacity to play like extremes or inner, although Xavi surrenders better recostado to his left-handed, while Take always is more comfortable recostado by right that in quality of mediapunta or false '9'. This does that the two can coincide without problems in the same team, something that the Barça descartó attain.
With Kubo, the Real Madrid advanced to the culés in 2019, fichándole to 'cost zero' after his go through the Japanese league. After a pair of cessions to the Mallorca and other exits to loan to Villarreal and Getafe, the 'White House' pactó his exit to the Real Sociedad by 6.5 million euros. Today, the one of Kawasaki is valued in 60 'kilos' in Transfermarkt after hardly a season and average in San Sebastián.
The PSG rubs the hands with Xavi Simons
By his part, Xavi went out of The Masia in 2019 to 'cost zero' and Paris Saint Germain took advantage of for ficharle. Although had very little shooting with the first team, his exit to the PSV Eindhoven helped him a lot of to mature and the Parisian directive did not doubt in recovering him the year gone through only 4 million euros. The Barça did not have margin to try repescarle, since all the money of the 'crowbars' invested in reinforcements for the first team.
To these heights, Simons already costs 70 million euros in Tranfermarkt and Paris rubs the hands. In principle, the one of Ámsterdam would have to go in in the plans of Luis Enrique for the pre-season. In contrary case, his exit will leave varied 'kilos' in the arks of the conjoint Frenchman, since the extreme has valid agreement until June of 2027. This yes, the PSV also will obtain a 'cut' by his future sale, in accordance with it pactado by both teams.
