Xavi Simons, a midfielder for Tottenham, was spotted buying a classic Flamengo jersey from 1993 at the Classic Football Shirts store in England. The jersey, model number 7, was worn by Renato Gaúcho in that season and features Lubrax as the master sponsor and Umbro as the sports equipment supplier. This has sparked interest among Flamengo fans, who have jokingly suggested that Simons could join the club. Simons' career has taken him through Barcelona's youth academy, PSG, PSV, RB Leipzig, and eventually to Tottenham. He is currently recovering from a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, which forced him to miss the World Cup.
