The situation is tense. Barcelona management is in talks over Xavi's future

Barcelona's management has decided to dismiss Xavi from his position as head coach. They are dissatisfied with his criticism of the club's financial situation.

According to Fabrizio Romano, internal negotiations and discussions regarding Xavi's situation are ongoing. The atmosphere remains highly tense. Key issues include the Spanish coach's comments about the financial state and remarks about Vitor Roque.

Rafa Márquez remains one of the main candidates for the head coach position, but the final decision regarding Xavi must be awaited.

It should be noted that club president Joan Laporta and other board members were infuriated by Xavi's recent comments about Barcelona's inability to make top transfers due to financial difficulties, consequently affecting their ability to compete for trophies.

At the end of January, following a 3:5 defeat to Villarreal, Xavi announced at a press conference that he would leave the team at the end of the season. However, after a series of positive results, the club's management managed to persuade him to at least complete his contract, which runs until the summer of 2025. This was announced at a special press conference.
