Barcelona has shown exceptional performance since Xavi Hernandez announced his departure from the club at the end of the season.
Despite Xavi’s decision to leave, the Barcelona board is actively working on convincing him to stay and is open to the possibility of him continuing with the team.
Meanwhile, as Barcelona searches for a new coach for the upcoming season, Xavi has become a highly sought-after asset in the market.
Graeme Bailey reports that several clubs, including Chelsea and Newcastle United, are interested in acquiring Xavi’s services this summer.
Both Chelsea and Newcastle United are currently struggling in mid-table positions in the Premier League and are looking to hire new managers for the next season after a disappointing campaign.
Graeme Bailey mentions that Barcelona remains optimistic about persuading Xavi to remain with the team and reconsider his choice to depart. Nonetheless, there are no definite decisions made as of now, and the Spaniard is presently concentrating on his current responsibilities, declining to discuss his future plans.
Even though achieving success in the Champions League might make Xavi interested in staying longer in Catalonia, the potential for increased financial backing and more authority provided by clubs like Chelsea and Newcastle United could entice him to switch to the Premier League.
