And now we start!
THE REAL REASONS WHY XAVI STAYS AT FC BARCELONA
The moment Xavi announced that he was staying, the Spanish press exploded with a variety of insights, the most provocative of which was the following:
BARCELONA WERE FORCED TO KEEP XAVI BECAUSE OF THE LARGE AMOUNT TO BE PAID TO THE COACH FOR NOT FULFILLING THE TERMS OF THE CONTRACT, WHICH EXPIRED IN THE SUMMER OF 2025
It was an outright provocation! Xavi himself reacted quite emotionally to such rumors:
“Anyone who claims that me staying was for financial reasons is seeking to harm me, and they don't know me. I've told them that if I leave the club, I will cancel my contract. Anyone spreading these words about me is trying to hurt me.”
“Xavi has always said from the very beginning that if he leaves, he will waive the final year of his contract. Xavi has always been very honest and has shown himself to be a person of the club, behaving well and not showing greed,” - and these are the words of Joan Laporta.
None of the Barcelona fans doubt that Xavi is a real Cule.
The real reasons for the decision to extend the Xavi era were the following:
Xavi's project is sustainable: despite the trophy-less season, the team under the coach's management was able to make a SIGNIFICANT JUMP in the results in the European arena - Barca were close to reaching the semifinals of the Champions League, and only Araujo's fatal mistake knocked the Catalans out of the tournament;
When Laporta was asked about the factors of trust in Xavi, he said the following:
“I haven’t seen Barcelona fans this excited in a long while”
These words, of course, refer to the Champions League campaign, where Barca had a great chance of reaching the final and even winning the tournament.
But Xavi's project has an additional BIG PLUS - and that is the FANTASTIC LA MASSIA YOUTH that has shocked the world of football this season. 16-year-old Lamine Yamal and 17-year-old Pau Cubarsi have not only become the undisputed players of the starting lineup, but also the team's leaders in terms of performance!
And there is also an example of "yesterday's no-name" Fermin Lopez - the 20-year-old midfielder scored 7 goals in his debut season at Barca, having played in the 3rd division of the Spanish football last season...
Also this season, for the first time, people started talking about such talented players as Marc Guiu and Hector Fort - both have a great future in Barcelona!
Xavi has the ability to spot talent and the necessary components in the game of any La Masia talent to fit him into the team's system.
Xavi knows the club perfectly and understands its main strength - and that is La Masia - the most successful periods in the club's history happened when the backbone of the team was composed of academy graduates.
Let's be realistic: under Xavi, Balde, Yamal and Cubarsi became the basis of the team. Also Gavi has made significant progress.
At the same time, the coach is not afraid to give young talents a chance: Lamine made his debut at 15, Cubarsi at 16!
The next first team debutants could be 17-year-old defender Landry Farre, 16-year-old midfielder Marc Bernal, 15-year-old midfielders Guille and Toni Fernandez, and maybe even 14-year-old Ebrima Tunkara, who can play in both midfield and attack.
The Future is Bright when you trust local top talent who understand Barcelona football and what it means to play for Barcelona!
So, the #2 reason why Xavi stayed is his impressive work with Barca's youth!
The first two points lead to reason #3, which is the key one - the existence of the prospects of Xavi's project in Barcelona!
'The project is not finished. I have strength to continue. I want the very best for this Club because I love Barca', - said Xavi after his decision.
In September 2023, Xavi extended his contract until the summer of 2025 with an option for another year. At the time, the future seemed bright - Barça started the season successfully after the domestic double - La Liga and the Spanish Super Cup. The club held a solid transfer campaign and everyone considered the Catalans to be one of the main favorites of the season. But in the December-January period, the team began to feel feverish, and Xavi started doubting himself: "Is he the RIGHT MAN for the Barca project?", which is why he announced his future resignation.
