Since Xavi announced that he would leave the team at the end of the season, Barcelona has been communicating with Xavi in the hope that he can change his mind. Moreover, for a long time in the past, Barcelona's performance has actually been very good, especially after Xavi announced his departure, the team is unbeaten in 13 games, and the Champions League and the league have performed very well, which also makes Barcelona pay special attention to Xavi's future. According to media outlets including Le Monde Sport, Daily Sport and well-known football journalist Fabrizio Romano, Xavi has changed his mind and will continue to coach Barcelona next season.
Judging from the current news reported by the media, Xavi and Barcelona's previous contract expires in 2025, and the two sides will not renew the contract after reaching an agreement this time, but will fulfill the contract, and whether the contract will be renewed in the future depends on the communication results between Barcelona and Xavi. This is already a very good result for Barcelona and Barcelona fans, although Xavi's results have not met expectations, but he is already the best choice for Barcelona at this stage, and the relationship with the club and with the players is very good.
After announcing his departure at the end of the season in January, Xavi made it clear in many interviews that his attitude has not changed, and the turning point of the matter came from Barcelona's entry into the Champions League top 8 and the first leg victory over Paris, Xavi has seen the changes in Barcelona, and Barcelona is also very satisfied with Xavi, Laporta and sports director Deco and Xavi have had in-depth communication, persuaded Barcelona's legendary superstar, and finally reached an agreement to continue to fulfill the contract, and Xavi will lead the next stage of Barcelona's reconstruction.
Xavi's stay also announced the end of Barcelona's coach selection turmoil, during the period when Xavi announced his departure, Barcelona was linked with many managers, including De Zebil of Brighton in the Premier League, former German national team coach Flick and even Mourinho have been linked with Barcelona, but Barcelona's attitude is still very clear, and they still want to persuade Xavi to stay. After all, for Barcelona, Xavi is not only the best candidate for the team at this stage, but also the most cost-effective choice, and Barcelona's poor financial state does not give them a lot of choice.
The double defeat of the Champions League and the league, coupled with the team's financial problems, Barcelona must make a relatively large adjustment to the team's squad in this year's summer window, and many players will choose to leave Barcelona passively or actively. Judging from the current news, Barcelona most hopes to solve the problem of De Jong, his high salary has caused huge pressure on the club, so he is even willing to make concessions on the transfer fee, and the transfer fee of about 70 million euros can be accepted by Barcelona, but De Jong's attitude is still very firm, he is only willing to stay in Barcelona to get all the salary, and fulfill the current contract, which is one of the problems that need to be solved for Xavi.
