Al-Khelaïfi is Going to Get Revenge on Real Madrid for Mbappé, the Player He Has Chosen

Real Madrid's objectives for the upcoming summer transfer market are becoming increasingly clear. In addition to some transfers in all defensive positions , midfield has become another priority since Toni Kroos retired .

The need for a creative, defensive midfielder has become evident after the irregular results obtained during the last month and a half in all competitions. To avoid this situation being repeated in the 25/26 campaign, the offices of Valdebebas are already working to secure this addition .

Martín Zubimendi 's name is, right now, the best placed to wear the white jersey from the summer of 2025. But he wouldn't be the only midfielder on the list of potential players for a few days now: Xavi Simons has joined that 'race', offering tough competition to the '4' txuri-urdin .

The Dutch midfielder, trained at La Masia , left FC Barcelona for PSG. There he didn't play many minutes after completing his training at the rouge et bleu academy , so they decided to loan him out to teams such as PSV and RB Leipzig .

No Options

The accumulation of experience in the European soccer elite merited a return to the capital's French discipline, but he wouldn't have earned a place. Luis Enrique doesn't count on him , a decision that seems irreversible. From the offices of Poissy they would've decided to sell him during the summer of 2025 , attracting the attention of several teams: Real Madrid and FC Barcelona are the most interested .

The battle between the two Spanish sides seems to be leaning slightly in favor of the Catalans . The icy and non-existent institutional relationship between PSG and Real Madrid makes it difficult to negotiate a transfer. In addition, the distance between those two clubs has grown since Kylian Mbappé left as a free agent for Santiago Bernabéu locker room.

The Parisian executives don't want to know anything about their Real Madrid counterparts and vice versa . That's why the noble area of the Parc des Princes would be more in favor of selling Xavi Simons to FC Barcelona . This way, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi's 'revenge' against Real Madrid for the 'Mbappé case' would be consolidated.

The disputes between PSG and Real Madrid have hampered part of the plans of the white team, preventing the arrival of players to the sporting project. Names such as Vitinha or Xavi Simons himself have taken on special relevance in a considerable list of elite players.
