Barcelona head coach Xavi Hernandez could still leave the club this summer. The Catalans' president Joan Laporta and part of the board are furious with Xavi after his recent comments. The Barça coach said that the club does not have the same opportunities in the transfer market as before.
People close to Laporta keep telling him that Xavi cannot remain coach next season. Xavi's place at Barca is no longer 100% guaranteed, and the next few days will be crucial.
If Barcelona lost against Almería, Xavi would have been sacked. Laporta did not travel with the team because he's mad at Xavi, and considers firing the manager.
And here are a few more insights:
"I think that Xavi is more likely to leave than stay at Barcelona. Next week could be his last match," - journalist Miguel Rico informs.
“Xavi is not expected to stay at Barcelona. Milan have evaluated him as a possibility”, - Gianluigi Longari says.
"Neither Laporta nor anyone in the board believe in Xavi," - David Bernabeu Reverter reports.
‘Xavi is more outside than inside at FC Barcelona’, - which is information from Cope.
Here's what Xavi himself had to say about the latest rumors after the match with Almeria:
"No one has told me that I don't deserve to continue. We're very excited for next season. I have a desire to compete and fight. I understand the noise. The environment around the club is always like that. But no, I'm calm and ready to start next season."
"If this ends up with Xavi leaving, the squad planning you have been doing for 3 weeks goes to absolute waste. It means starting again, absolute nonsense what we have to live through!", - and this is a statement from leading Barcelona journalist Gerard Romero.
