Xavi regularly repeats his desire to leave Barça at the end of the season. The Catalan coach, who lost his first match since January against PSG on Tuesday evening, still has one year of contract. His president, Joan Laporta, still wants to convince him to stay. The elimination in the quarter finals of the Champions League did not change things, Joan Laporta thinks that his main option for the bench next season is the current coach according to Marca.
Xavi always seems to stick to his positions. If the Barça coach does not continue, the club will certainly turn to Rafa Márquez. The Catalan reserve coach publicly announced in January that he would not oppose such a proposal. The Catalan newspapers also believe that he is the favorite to succeed Xavi.
