Mercato: Rafaela Pimenta in Paris, to discuss Xavi Simons and Areola with PSG?
Heiress of the business managed by Mino Raiola, Rafaela Pimenta was in Paris this Wednesday according to our information. The reasons for the arrival of the representative of Xavi Simons in the capital remain unknown but discussions with PSG could well have taken place when new recent echoes appeared concerning the two players on Wednesday.
After the recent death of Mino Raiola, it is Rafaela Pimenta who finds herself at the center of the cases previously handled by the Italian. Right arm of the charismatic agent for 18 years, the Brazilian lawyer took over the impressive portfolio of players, in particular the Parisians Gianluigi Donnarumma, Alphonse Areola, Marco Verratti or even Xavi Simons to manage. If the two Italian internationals from PSG should not really animate the summer transfer window since PSG intends to rely on them, the cases of Alphonse Areola and Xavi Simons are on the other hand the subject of discussion.
According to our information, the representative Rafaela Pimenta was in Paris this Wednesday. If the official reason for her coming remains unknown, the one who hides away from social networks could well have taken advantage of her stay in the capital to discuss her foals with PSG since rumors concerning two of them have appeared in recent hours. . The first concerns Alphonse Areola who has just concluded a good season on loan with West Ham, semi-finalists of the Europa League.
If the 29-year-old goalkeeper did not play in the Premier League, the Hammers trusting the aging Lukasz Fabianski (37), he was able to keep the cages on all national cup matches and especially on the European scene. His performances have also not passed in the previews with the management of the London club, described as ready to exercise the purchase option he has to secure the services of the Frenchman permanently. The English channel Sky Sports confirms the trend and indicates that the Hammers should indeed exercise this option estimated at just over 10 million pounds (around 12 million euros).
The other rumor concerns Xavi simons with two concordant pieces of information in favor of an extension of the young Dutch midfielder. It is first of all the independent journalist Fabien Guyon who claimed that PSG and Xavi Simons had reached an agreement for a contract extension for the 19-year-old. A little later, the transfer window specialist Fabrizio Romano, who is following the file closely, went a little less far but confirmed that the file was in the final stages before the conclusion of the file, without announcing an agreement.
What to imagine that the arrival of Rafaela Pimenta is indeed linked to the files of its Parisian players.
