Barcelona have reportedly ruled out re-signing Xavi Simons from Tottenham Hotspur due to the high transfer costs and a desire to prioritize other squad positions this summer.
Barcelona are currently not considering a move to bring Xavi Simons back to the Camp Nou despite rumors of his unhappiness at Tottenham.
Reports suggest the deal is stalled by a €45 million price tag and concerns regarding the message it sends to the club’s academy.
The hierarchy remains hesitant to reward a player who chose to leave the youth system back in 2019.
The Catalan giants are instead focusing their financial resources on securing a new center-back and a center-forward.
Additionally, the club must finalize a decision regarding the future of Marcus Rashford before committing to other major signings.
Club sources indicate that spending heavily on Simons “would send the wrong message to the academy” during a period of strict financial management and squad restructuring.
