The growth is indeed amazing, we mean the wage. According to Spanish media, Xavi was receiving 200 000 euros at the Barcelona academy, while at PSG, thanks to the agent Mino Raiola, the guy will be earning 1 million euros before taxes. And we didn't just make this information up on a spot, we borrowed it from Mundo Deportivo. It is amazing that Barca let its talent to go for free in the summer of 2019. At that time, it was talked about the possible inclusion of Simons in the Neymar transfer. But in the end, all those media speculations turned out to be fakes. Barcelona simply couldn't keep the main star of its academy. Xavi is one of our brightest players at the moment. I think in terms of potential, he is comparable to Messi. We see in him the skills that even accomplished players don't have. He is a great guy, said one of the leaders of La Masia Xavier Bilajoana in 2018. Nevertheless, according to some information, Barcelona relatively easily let the kid go, as they are sure that the club academy is full of talents that are not worse than the Dutchman. I left a part of me in Barcelona, and a part of Barca will always be in me. It's very difficult to say goodbye, Barcelona was my home, my family, my life as long as I can remember. This is how Xavi Simons said goodbye to the Cotiland Superclub. Difficult, with a heavy heart, but with bright prospects. Reminds of someone, doesn't it? Who instantly comes in mind? Neymar and his Parisian story of escaping from Barcelona for the Ballon d'Or and a big contract. So, how's Simons doing in PSG? Xavi himself says. Now a play for PSG U19. At first, it was difficult, since the 19-year-olds are stronger than me physically, but then I got used to it. Once, Thomas Tuchel invited me to train with the main team, which I was very happy about. I want to get to the first squad of PSG as quickly as possible. Yes, Xavi has already managed to train with the first team. But most of the time, the 17-year-old wonderkind spent in the U19 squad. How successful is Simons' first season in Paris? Judge for yourself. The U19 squad finished the championship in 3rd place, right after Amiens and Le Havre. And in the UEFA Youth League, the team with Xavi Simons took 3rd place, losing the group to Real Madrid and Bruges. As for Xavi himself, he has 6 goals and 4 assists for PSG U19 and the U-squad of the Netherlands. Not bad, but the results of PSG are frankly not impressive. If we are talking about goals, we especially remember precise free kicks against the Turkish national team and the curious goal into Real Madrid's net. The ex-Barcelona player again punished his bosom enemies. And let's move to the conclusions. The specialized portal PSG Analysis describes Xavi's game in the first season on PSG as follows. Simons is a very promising midfielder, which can influence the game from different positions on the field. His technique is very impressive. His playmaker skills are good. He's dribbling.
