Barcelona’s first team coach, Xavi Hernandez, asked his board of directors, headed by Joan Laporta, to sign a replacement for Ronald Araujo, whose departure is approaching next summer.
Xavi seeks to succeed with Barcelona next season after the Catalan team’s management decided to continue the Spanish coach at the head of Barcelona’s technical leadership.
According to Radio Catalunya, Barcelona coach Xavi requested a contract with Jose Villa, the current Valencia player, after his outstanding performance and brilliance during the two teams’ match, which made him greet and praise him.
Reports confirmed that Araujo, whose contract extends until 2026 and has offers from Bayern Munich and other clubs, is fully aware of their desire to sell him and benefit financially from the money, reduce the salary cap, and follow the financial fair play law.
The reports concluded that doubts fill Araujo’s heart about his future, and he is about to be sold to another club, and his departure is approaching, especially after Barcelona’s exit from the Champions League and his feeling of responsibility, as he received the red card and did not complete the match.
