Speculation Swirls Around Xavi’s Future at Barcelona Amidst Performance Concerns
Barcelona, despite only two losses this season, finds themselves in a challenging position under Xavi’s management. Currently occupying the third spot in La Liga and yet to secure a Champions League play-off berth, Xavi’s position is under scrutiny. While his contract extends until 2025, Spanish media is rife with speculation about a potential resignation if the team fails to meet key objectives—defending the La Liga title and reaching the Champions League quarter-finals.
Should Xavi fall short of these targets, talks of his successor have emerged. According to Jose Alvarez of El Chiringuito, club legend Rafa Marquez is a strong contender for the role. Marquez’s rapport with the board and previous work with the club’s youth players bolster his candidacy.
Despite the rumors, the likelihood of Xavi’s departure in June appears improbable, prompting discussions on the team’s trajectory under his leadership.
