Why is Alejandro Balde wearing Xavi Simons' jersey in fresh pic?

Alejandro Balde has shared a lovely pic of himself wearing Xavi Simons' RB Leipzig jersey.

The two are big friends since the La Masia days – they often mention each other on social media.

Barcelona reportedly inquired about the Dutchman earlier this season. The 21-year-old hasn't been part of Blaugrana since 2019 when he left La Masia for Paris Saint-Germain's academy.

The attacking midfielder has scored nine goals and provided 15 assists in 41 appearances for RB Leipzig, on loan from PSG.
