Dutch footballer Xavi Simons has been a fan of Barcelona since childhood, and his favorite players were Lionel Messi and Neymar. At the Catalan club’s academy, the young man had the status of the main star of the generation and at the age of 16 he could boast a multi-million army of subscribers on social networks, but eventually left his favorite team for PSG.
Xavi Quentin Sy Simons was born on April 21, 2003 in Amsterdam and has Surinamese roots. The footballer received his name in honor of the legendary Barcelona midfielder Xavi Hernandez, this decision was made by the mother of the future athlete. The boy’s father, Regillo Simons, played for Dutch clubs and spent a year in Japan, after finishing his career he worked as a coach. Xavi has an older brother, Faustino, who also played at a high level.

At the age of three, Simons ended up in Spain, the family settled in the village of Rojales. Here, as part of the modest club “Tader”, the boy took his first steps in sports. Soon, representatives of Villarreal and Barcelona became interested in him. The young man made a choice in favor of the Catalan team and ended up in La Masia – the academy of the blue-garnets.
The footballer became popular even before his debut at the adult level: thanks to his father, a team of media people formed around the technically gifted guy with a bright hairdo. In the wake of the Netherlands’ failure to qualify for the European Championship and World Cup, Simons was positioned as the “hope of a generation”, with his social media following soon surpassing one million. In Catalonia, the young man was called Lionel Messi’s successor, with clips of his feints gaining hundreds of thousands of views. Since the age of 15, the Dutchman with Surinamese roots has starred in Nike commercials.
However, his superstar status did not guarantee Simons a place in Barcelona’s starting lineup. In addition, his agent Mino Raiola was keen to profit from the attacking midfielder’s potential transfer. In 2019, Xavi did not renew his contract with Barcelona and began training with PSG. The fans of the blue-garnets perceived this step by their idol as a betrayal, accusing the young man of trying to make money: at 16, the prodigy was earning €1 million a year in Paris without playing in a single official match.
After the Dutch prodigy’s transfer to PSG, his former Barcelona teammate, Brazilian forward Neymar, took the young talent under his wing. The midfielder made his debut for PSG on February 10, 2021, in a cup match against Caen. In Paris, Xavi Simons was never able to become a starting player due to high competition; in search of game practice, he went to the Netherlands. In the Eredivisie, the prodigy surprised the audience with his dribbling and long-range shots, scoring several important goals.
Against the backdrop of Simons’s brilliant performance, the French bought the player’s transfer and signed a new five-year contract with him. However, the Amsterdam native did not play a single minute in the French championship; he was sent on loan to the German Leipzig. The midfielder was considered one of the most creative players in the Bundesliga and performed at a decent level in the Champions League.
The young man prefers not to talk about his personal life, most of his posts on social networks are dedicated to football. There are no mentions in the press of the adventures of the owner of a lush head of hair on the love front, only once did the guy get into a scandal at the location of the Dutch national team. In 2021, Xavi’s teammates invited girls to the hotel, thereby violating the anti-Covid protocol.
Simons has maintained friendly relations with many Barcelona academy players and regularly calls Gavi. Another good friend of his is Alejandro Balde. In 2024, the young man posted a photo on Instagram in a Leipzig T-shirt with the name of an old acquaintance on the back. They often exchange pleasantries on social networks. In addition to football, Xavi is interested in tennis and swimming, regularly delighting fans with new videos. He remains one of the most sought-after football players in the world, advertising clothing for sports brands. Despite his parents’ concerns, his social media fame has not affected the midfielder’s athletic performance.
Leipzig’s number 20 had an impressive season in the Bundesliga, becoming one of the team’s leaders. Thanks to his tall stature (179 cm), the guy successfully operated in the air, often shifting to the flank and regularly running behind the defenders. In an interview, he spoke complimentarily about the level of the German championship and called his transfer the right decision.
The rights to Simons now belong to PSG, the footballer himself is not eager to return to France and spoke about his desire to play for Barcelona. In Paris, after the departure of Kylian Mbappe, they plan to build a new team around the talented midfielder and do not intend to sell him.
On May 29, 2024, the player was included in the final application of the Netherlands national team for Euro 2024. The team’s head coach Ronald Koeman highly appreciated the midfielder’s talent, but sometimes allowed himself to criticize him for rash decisions that led to the loss of the ball. At the continental tournament, the Dutch were in the same quartet with Poland, France and Austria, successfully overcame the group stage and reached the semi-finals. There, Xavi Simons scored his only goal in the tournament, but his team still lost (1:2) and ended their performance.
In August, official information appeared that the footballer was moving on loan to Leipzig.
