Recent discussions have centered around the future of Xavi Hernandez at Barcelona, with club president Joan Laporta leading efforts to convince the former midfielder to stay on as manager.
Xavi had previously announced his intention to leave Barcelona at the end of the season, citing a need for change.
However, the team’s improved performance, including notable wins against Napoli and Atletico Madrid, has prompted Laporta to advocate for Xavi’s continuation.
Reports indicate that discussions between the two parties are scheduled for next month, following a crucial match against Real Madrid, as Laporta seeks to persuade Xavi to extend his tenure.
While Xavi had been firm in his decision to depart, there are now suggestions that he may consider staying, albeit with certain conditions.
These conditions include a desire for increased influence in sporting matters and assurances of funds for summer transfers to strengthen the squad.
Xavi emphasizes the importance of signing a quality midfielder and winger to enhance the team’s competitiveness.
Failure to meet these requirements could lead Xavi to reassess his decision to stay, acknowledging the potential challenges and limitations facing the team under such circumstances.
