A future crack? Xavi Simons, a 16-year-old from Barça, has been hired by PSG, the Paris club said on Twitter on Tuesday.

It is this player with long curly hair who first announced on his social networks - where he is followed by 1.7 million subscribers - that he left Barcelona, ​​without saying where he was going.

The Dutch teenager has rejected Barça's proposals: an annual salary of 200,000 euros, very high for a resident of the Masia, the training center, and the promise to quickly integrate the Barça reserve team, according to Mundo Deportivo .

The young boy, whose agent is the influential Mino Raiola - who has in his team Paul Pogba, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Mario Balotelli or a member of the PSG, Marco Verratti- was seduced by the offer of the PSG, which no has not yet filtered, according to the Catalan press.

- Frictions between PSG and Barça -

Relations between the PSG and Barça are stormy for two seasons: the Catalan club has never digested his Paris counterpart, he accuses of financial doping, lifts the release clause of 222 million euros, record sum, for to offer Neymar in the summer of 2017.

The formation of Lionel Messi was eager to acquire the Dutch midfielder Frenkie De Jong (former Ajax Amsterdam) for EUR 75 million, while he was tracked by the PSG.

And while Neymar drags his spleen to PSG and suggests that he would like to return to Catalonia, Barcelona would have proposed to Paris SG to exchange the Brazilian against Philippe Coutinho and Ousmane Dembélé or Ivan Rakitic, and 40 million euros, according to The team and several Spanish media. An unacceptable deal for Parisian leaders.

But in front of the pickups, Barça plays low profile, as vice-president Blaugrana Jordi Cardoner has done recently: "there is no record Neymar (...) it seems that the player is not happy ( in Paris), but we do not comment ".
