Xavi’s Revamp: Players Barcelona’s Coach May Bid Farewell to Next Season
In light of recent insights, we compile a list of Barcelona players who might find themselves out of Xavi’s plans for the upcoming season.
- Joao Felix: Unlike Joan Laporta, it seems Xavi was never fully sold on the Portuguese forward. Rumors circulate that Xavi might advocate parting ways with Joao Felix at the end of the current campaign.
- Ansu Fati: Despite being a La Masia graduate, indications point towards Xavi being open to offloading Ansu Fati for a substantial fee in the summer. The decision could mark a significant shift in the team’s dynamics.
- Sergino Dest: Xavi appears to have a preference for Joao Cancelo, making Sergino Dest’s future uncertain. Dest’s success at left-back might lead to a permanent move to PSV as Xavi reshapes the defensive setup.
- Oriol Romeu: Xavi envisions bolstering the midfield with a high-profile defensive midfielder in the upcoming transfer window. Martin Zubimendi emerges as a ‘dream’ option, potentially phasing out Oriol Romeu.
- Marcos Alonso: The Spanish defender has seen minimal game time this season, plagued by injuries. With limited contributions and persistent fitness concerns, this could mark Marcos Alonso’s final campaign donning the Blaugrana colors.
- Clement Lenglet: Amidst speculation, it appears there’s no path for Clement Lenglet to return to play under Xavi or any future Barcelona manager. The consensus suggests that enough is enough, signaling a potential departure for the central defender.
As Xavi steers Barcelona towards a new era, these potential exits underline the coach’s strategic vision and the club’s commitment to rejuvenating its squad for the challenges ahead.
