Xavi's renewal will have to wait until summer

The results do not admit discussion. The FC Barcelona will renew the agreement of Xavi Hernández in the weeks to come, but, faithful to his habit, the egarense prioritises the sportive and prefers to expect to the end of the 2023/24 to concretise the formalisms. As it advances 'SPORT', the agreement of the míster of Terrassa will extend by two seasons more, until June of 2026, with an adjust salarial chord to the financial actuality of the club.

The trainer signed in November of 2021 an agreement by two seasons and average, until 30 June 2024, by which still subtracts him a year of agreement. After a first year without titles, 2023 has begun with the first Supercopa Spanish obtained from 2018 and the possibility to complete a historical triplete domestic with LaLiga and the Glass of Rey. With the title suspender belt in the pocket, the Wednesday is to 'shot' the final of Glass.

Laporta Had it clear from March

The rumours on the renewal of Xavi intensified in the previous of the last Classical of League, where the Barça practically sentenced the title after the 2-1 in Camp Nou. Then, the mandator culé left clear his intention to close what before the extension of the agreement of the egarense. "It is necessary to renew him because it played it to him, knows the house and defends the genuine style of the Barça", said Laporta in this regard.

Nevertheless, the trainer went out to the step to avoid divert the attention to the most important, the performance of the team. "His words have me pillado of way. For me it is a fellow, but first are the results and afterwards, the renewal. This does not go of money neither of years, but that the club go well", explained Xavi. Once firm his new agreement, the priority will be to reinforce the staff of face to the 2023/24.

The Fair Play and the problems for fichar in summer

Xavi will follow perceiving a wage very underneath of the average, because of the problems of the club with the Fair Play financial. In this sense, the directive will focus in resolving the líos with the mass salarial to be able to close the pending renewals (Gavi, Ronald Araújo, Alejandro Balde) and, afterwards, manage the arrival of, at least, a reinforcement by line. Laporta Already has closed the signing of Iñigo Martínez and expects fichar a mediocentro and another forward, as long as LaLiga approve these operations.

And it is that, to the date, even the renewal of Xavi would be a problem for a Barça tied of hands by the Fair Play. Until so much the club do not square his finances, going down at least 200 million euros his payroll, will be impossible to close any operation in the first team. For I satisfy, the relations with Javier Thebes reach his more critical point as a result of the 'case Negreira', but at all of this will condition the permanence of Xavi in the bench. The Barça has trainer for while.
