The race against time in Barcelona continues to regain the 1/1 rule and allow Dani Olmo to be registered for the remainder of the season. The club's financial difficulties remain despite the positive statements made by president Joan Laporta. But the club can rejoice in the extension of its adventure with Nike, which began in 1998, until 2038, which should bring in 1.7 billion euros for FC Barcelona. A historic contract with the American equipment manufacturer and finances which will return to green and encourage the club's management to relaunch a lead from a former member of the house, Xavi Simons. His agent could be the major player in this operation according to Sport.
Intermediary and agent
If the idea of a return of Xavi Simons is being considered at Barça, it is thanks to Darren Dein. Already a big player in the contract signed with Spotify, the player's agent also played a big role with that of Nike. He is close to Joan Laporta and gravitates in the circle of the biggest agents close to the club such as Pina Zahavi (Flick, Lewandowski) or Jorge Mendes (Yamal, Fati, Balde, AItana). A loan was considered this summer but the operation was unsuccessful. But now that Dein is well off and finances are set to improve, a transfer for Xavi Simons is a possibility even though the 21-year-old's value is estimated at €80 million by Transfermarkt.
