The end of Xavi’s mandate is recorded. After a series of poor results, the former midfielder was taken aback by part of the Catalan public and his messages no longer really got through to the locker room. However, since the announcement of his departure, the culé ship has righted the ship but Xavi’s fate is sealed. Therefore, the Blaugrana leaders must work to find a replacement for the legend. And while several names have already filtered, İlkay Gündoğan, who arrived this summer in Catalonia, already has a preference.

In an interview given to La Vanguardiathe German midfielder campaigned for the arrival of his former coach in Germany: “Hansi Flick is not only a fabulous man, he is also a great coach, as he proved by winning the treble with Bayern. He arrived in the national team in a very difficult situation, but he was always sincere and I respect him a lot.»
