The day off at FC Barcelona has not calmed the waters regarding the board's decision to fire Xavi Hernández at the end of 2023/24. For Joan Laporta, the decision seems irreversible one week before the end of LaLiga

Calendar of FC Barcelona

Xavi Hernández seems to have his days explained in the FC Barcelona. The annoyance of Joan Laporta with the technician egarense by his criticisms to the sportive management culé seem to have sentenced to the egarense and, to few hours of the that will be the last party of the season in Montjuïc, the mandator follows firm in his decision to relieve to the technical body that leads the one of Terrassa once conclude the 2023/24.

In this sense, Laporta sees like a betrayal the words of Xavi in the previous to the visit to the Almería, minimising the possibilities to compete the next season by all the titles in front of the problems of the club for fichar. The president had the 'ok' of the technician to the sportive project and, after convincing him to remain , there was full confidence in the staff of face to the 2024/25, something that has remained in entredicho after the last statements of the egarense.

Laporta, had to assume the cost of the cessation of Xavi

From here that, to these heights, the Barcelona mandator was had to assume the cost of the exit of the trainer and his staff, which would suppose to lose around 20 million euros, since the one of Terrassa has agreement until June of 2025. With the club waiting for the 'ok' of LaLiga to his new plan of financial feasibility, this operation, added to the contracting of the new technician, would leave to the Barça to the edge of the abyss of face to the next market.

The financial crisis aims to Rafa Márquez like the immediate solution, although especula with names like Hansi Flick (very interested from does months in arriving to Barcelona) and the Argentinian Marcelo Gallardo, the one who this week confirmed his exit of the To the-Ittihad Saudi. Both would arrive with letter of freedom, but his agreements would suppose an extra cost for a Barça that would be forced, yes or yes, to close a pair of important sales in the short term to square accounts.

Deco And Yuste, possible mediators in favour of Xavi the next week

For the moment, the only table of salvation for Xavi aims to a 'summit' with the directive that, in principle, would have to make after the duel in front of the Ray. Deco And Rafa Yuste are, for now, the only names of weight that would back the continuity of the egarense, as they have confirmed diverse Catalan means, between them 'Sportive World' and 'RAC1'. To these heights, the Catalan trainer would have foot and half out of the club, but the final decision on his future will produce the next week.
