Arriving on November 6, 2021, this 2023-2024 season was to be Xavi’s last on the FC Barcelona bench. On several occasions, the Spanish world champion has repeated his firm decision to leave the club at the end of the 2023-2024 edition. However, according to the Spanish daily, Joan Laporta and the coach would have agreed to a meeting to discuss the subject.

Winner of the championship and the Super Cup in 2023, Xavi remains, in the minds of Spanish leaders, the best solution for next year. Ideas germinated like the arrival of the Mexican Rafa Márquez. However, this choice is considered risky by some management.
