Xavi Hernandez – Barcelona Exudes “Optimism” as Viability Plan Awaits LaLiga Approval

In recent months, the biggest transfer saga revolving around Barcelona has revolved around the highly anticipated return of Lionel Messi, who is set to depart Paris Saint-Germain as a free agent at the conclusion of the season.

While Barcelona is eager to secure the services of the Argentine superstar once again, their pursuit is currently on hold as they await the crucial approval from LaLiga regarding their viability plan. Until the plan is greenlit, Barcelona is unable to present Messi with a contract.

Naturally, these circumstances have raised concerns that Messi may not make a comeback to Barcelona this summer. However, Xavi Hernandez, the legendary Barcelona midfielder and current coach, seems to hold a different perspective at the moment. In a recent interview prior to the clash against Celta Vigo, Xavi acknowledged that Joan Laporta, the Barcelona president, has done a commendable job in keeping him calm and assured amidst the ongoing uncertainty.

“The club remains optimistic, although the situation is not yet definitive. Our President is an incredibly positive individual who always manages to transmit confidence and security to me. I am not feeling anxious; instead, I am patiently awaiting further developments.”

The potential return of Messi to Barcelona currently hangs in the balance, with both parties expressing a strong desire to reunite for one last mesmerizing chapter. However, with time ticking away, there exists a genuine risk of Barcelona losing Messi to Al Hilal, a club that has expressed significant interest in securing his services.
