It seemed that Xavi and Barcelona will still continue their cooperation next season, but it seems that the former captain and Joan Laporta cannot agree on the goals. The young coach recently spoke publicly about the club’s poor financial situation and called on Barcelona fans to be patient in winning the trophy, which reportedly bothered the president, who after successfully convincing him to stay, is now determined to replace Xavi.Flick rejects Chelsea in hope Barcelona will callThe Spanish media wrote that Xavi changed his decision to resign announced in January after the April meeting with Laporta, when he told his employer that he believed in the team at his disposal and that the Catalans could compete with Real Madrid in the title fight next season.
