Barcelona President Makes An Urgent Request To Xavi

The Spanish newspaper "Sport" revealed that Joan Laporta, president of Barcelona, ​​is trying to persuade his technical director, Xavi Hernandez, to reverse his decision to leave the team at the end of the current season 2023-2024, and to stay for another year. The newspaper said that Laporta informally asked Xavi to stay, and made a real attempt to make him see that completing the last year of his contract would be best for the club. Vice President Rafael Yuste also made clear that he favored Xavi's continuation. They believe the dressing room is behind him as well, and given his knowledge of the club and his situation, that will be even better. The newspaper pointed out that Barcelona fans were concerned that after evaluating some options, the Barcelona Board of Directors concluded that they preferred Xavi to continue in his position. All of the most connected candidates come from backgrounds outside Barcelona, ​​and without that link, they may find it difficult to sell the project to the game's top managers given their unstable economy.
