BOMBAZO! Xavi remains in the Barça and will fulfil his agreement until 2025

Xavi Hernández will fulfil his agreement with the FC Barcelona until 2025. According to near sources to the Barcelona club, this decision will be oficializada próximamente by Joan Laporta, president of the club, the one who will make an appearance in front of the media to offer details on the subject. With this would remain resolved of definite way the subject of who will be the attendant to manage the staff culé of face to the course 2024-25.

All this 'serial' around the continuity of the of Terrassa to the control of the combined Barcelona started on 27 January, after a very defeat in front of the Villarreal CF home (3-5). In the back press conference to the meeting, Hernández, in front of the complex situation by which crossed the picture culé, took the hard determination to announce the following: "Before that you do me the pertinent questions, would like me announce as that on 30 June will not follow like trainer of the Barça".

This determination, in principle, surprised to several sectors of the barcelonismo. On the one hand, the directive saw forced to begin a new trainer that fulfilled a series of characteristics very specific, like the knowledge of the philosophy of the Barça, the bet by The Masia and, the most important in these times, the capacity to work with a budget limited for additions. This last point was a key factor that reduced considerably the list of candidates.

The announcement of Xavi marked a 'subidón' in the performance of the team

Of course, this decision also repercutió in the accionar of the staff, that in more than an occasion showed his desazón and some feeling of fault by the sucedido. Nevertheless, the announcement of the exit of the of Terrassa marked the remarkable envalentonamiento of the Catalan picture so much so it attained an impressive series of results. From this moment, the club chained 13 consecutive meetings without knowing the defeat, showing a solid exert defensive and an offensive efficiency that allowed them win commitments that before escaped them .

This increase of performance began to generate more voices that asked that Xavi remained . In spite of having lost tempranamente the option to heave two awards, the Supercopa of Spain and the Glass of Rey, the team was working of optimum way. In front of this, no descartaba the possibility to convince to the trainer so that it remained a season more, and even especulaba with that the egarense could reconsider his decision, taking into account that everything was working properly and still remained two competitions for litigating: the Champions League and LaLiga.

The defeats in front of the PSG and the Real Madrid would have 'seeded' the doubt on the continuity of the egarense

However, the past week produced two 'hits' hard that put in doubt the continuity of the exfutbolista of the FC Barcelona. Why? The past Wednesday, the Barcelona picture was defeated by the PSG, remaining deleted in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, phase of which the club had big aspirations to trascend, after having achieved an advantage of 2-3 in France. Back to this, the Sunday contested the Classical, where the Catalan cast neither added a positive result, since it fell defeated by 3-2, putting practically end to his aspirations in LaLiga, since to fault of some scarce days, the combined of the City Condal finds to 11 points of the leadership, a brecha complicated to trace back.

Under this stage, is not surprising that there have been discordant voices that questioned the continuity of Hernández, after a year without titles. However, from the breast of the Barcelona club kept a total hermetismo on this case, limiting only to leave glimpse that would carry out a meeting in the next days after the Classical to resolve this question.

The 'summits' keys to define the future of Xavi in the FC Barcelona

This day was this Wednesday 24 April, beginning with a first meeting between Deco and Xavi Hernández in the Sportive City Joan Gamper. It commented that this 'summit' lasted roughly an hour and that there were some discrepancies between the Portuguese and the Catalan because of a request that would have extended him to the current trainer culé, which would consist in doing without some members of his 'staff' technical. When seeming, Xavi showed reacio to this proposal.

However, still it remained a second meeting that involved to more people of the club. In addition to Deco and Xavi, also were present Joan Laporta, president of the club, Rafa Yuste, vice-president, and Alejandro Echevarría, a notable figure in the institutional decisions. This 'summit' lasted roughly a pair of hours and was the definite to arrive to an agreement. They did not give to know the subjects treated, but finally arrived to the conclusion that the egarense will follow like technical director, although the specific conditions that agreed apparently will be explained by Laporta in his appearance in front of the means.
