Barcelona‘s La Masia staff aren’t overly concerned after losing Xavi Simons to PSG.
The 16 year-old quit Barca for PSG this week in a blaze publicity.
But a La Masia insider told Le Parisien: “All the coaches were not in agreement about him. Some believed in him, others thought he would have trouble reaching the top level. He has good ball protection, but he carries the ball too much, there are often two or three extra touches.
“He is a talented player, brave, very combative, but perhaps not the most talented of his generation. Barça did not want to make a huge effort for him.”
