Xavi's promise to Barça for the 2023-2024 season

For the FC Barcelona in the season 2023-2024 there is a very clear mission: go back to compete in the Champions League. It is not a secret for anybody that the last years of the Barcelona have been starred by an endless of disappointments. Without going further, have remained twice, of consecutive way, in the phase of groups with the 'obligation' to play the Europe League, a competition in which the team does not have 'enchufado'.

To fulfil with this challenge, Xavi Hernández has asked key reinforcements for the team, but understands that the most important is the incorporation of a pivote of maximum quality that serve of relief for Sergio Busquets, after this decided to put an end to his career in the Barça this summer. The trainer egarense has transmitted his list of priorities and launches the balloon to the roof of the sportive direction.

The requirement to the Barça depends on the signings

For Xavi, in the Barça will exist two stages after the market of signings. If the club achieves the incorporation of Martín Zubimendi (Real Sociedad) or Joshua Kimmich (Bayern of Munich), has promised that the team will be able to compete and arrive until the final phases of the Champions League, in addition to repeating the title of LaLiga that already have won in this season.

For the one of Terrassa, east is the ideal stage... But, also, the most complicated. And it is that although the two players are the 'favourite' to occupy the position, also are the most complicated. In the case of Zubimendi, has cleared in several opportunities that wants to be still in the rows of the Real Sociedad and that does not value his exit in the short term. Besides, it has a clause of exit of 60 million euros, impossible to assume for the culés.

With Kimmich the situation is identical. The Bayern of Munich already has left clear that does not be on sale and, in fact, has sent a 'dart' to the Barcelona for showing openly his interest in the pivote, although they are conscious that it will not go out. Likewise, the player has aimed that is smart to follow triumphing in Germany, by what also descarta his traspaso to the Barça.

If it arrives the plan B, what will happen?

With the plan To, Xavi has promised LaLiga and compete to the end by the Champions, but in case that the plans change, the history will be very different. The elected, in such a case, would be a Sofyan Amrabat of the that already has confirmed that will go out of the Fiorentina this summer. His price of traspaso round the 25-30 million euros. The Barça has it in his diary and values positively, but is not the big favourite.

In case that it was he the one who land in the City Condal, according to the journalist Javier Miguel, the options of the Barcelona group would reduce considerably: Xavi does not promise that it can repeat the title of LaLiga, as well as the option to compete in Europe... It is a method of pressure so that the Barcelona sportive direction exhaust all his options?
