Spanish media shed light on Barcelona’s coach, Xavi Hernandez, entering into a dispute with Barcelona’s president, Joan Laporta, over a deal in the upcoming summer transfer period.
Barcelona is experiencing an unprecedented state of confusion, disputes and crises at all levels, and the results show that the Catalan team needs more than just signing strong deals.
According to the Spanish El Chiringuito program, Xavi Hernandez signed with Joao Felix in the Mercato last summer and still refuses to continue with Barcelona next season.
The Spanish program indicated that Xavi Hernandez believes that Felix does not enjoy continuity, as he could be among the top players but does not fully benefit from his skills, and this is similar to what happened to the Portuguese star at Atletico Madrid.
The Spanish program confirmed that Laporta and Deco, Barcelona’s sporting director, want Felix to continue and will negotiate the renewal of his loan, contrary to Xavi’s wishes.
It is noteworthy that Barcelona signed Portuguese Joao Felix on loan from Atletico Madrid, extending only until the next summer Mercato.
Felix’s level has declined in recent months and he has lost his place in Barca’s starting lineup.
