During an FC Barcelona training session, Robert Lewandowski was filmed snubbing his coach Xavi, which sparked many questions about the situation between the two men.
Relations between Robert Lewandowski and Xavi are far from good. A video of a Barça training session made the rounds on social media, showing the Polish striker ignoring a friendly pat from his coach. This scene reignited rumors of tensions between the two men.

Speculation about a possible transfer is increasing, with some going so far as to suggest a destination in Saudi Arabia or MLS.
