XAVI WILL STAY AT FC BARCELONA BECAUSE OF HAALAND' TRANSFER!? FOOTBALL NEWS Barcelona keen on both Kimmich and Bernardo Silva Mundo Deportivo Reliability: 4 Barcelona are looking to make two top transfer moves in the next two transfer windows. Kimmich is a year away from the end of his contract and with serious doubts about whether to continue at Bayern. Barça has always been among Joshua's favourites - especially if Xavi decides to stay at the club. The other option for the Catalans would be Bernardo Silva, who has extended his deal with Man City until the summer of 2026 and has a release clause worth £50 million. Xavi's ultimatum to Barcelona Mundo Deportivo Reliability: 4 Xavi may consider Barcelona's offer to extend his stay at the club next season. The head coach insists on being able to recruit experienced players and not rely on 16-17-18-year-olds only. Since Barça's goal is to compete for all the trophies, then they must provide all the necessary opportunities to make it happen, thinks Xavi. The Spanish manager does not want to spend another summer like the previous one with signings closed at the last minute because of the absence of fair play. If there are no guarantees that there is money to build a great squad, there will be no option for him to continue, no matter how well the season ends. Laporta promises to bring Haaland for Xavi Mundo Deportivo Reliability: 4 In 2025, Joan Laporta's goal is to sign Erling Haaland to replace Lewandowski. Xavi even interviewed Haaland before he signed for Manchester City. The Catalans' president has already notified Xavi of these plans and hopes that the manager will change his mind and remain at the club. Laporta wants to keep Xavi until the summer of 2026 - we would like to remind you that Xavi inked a contract, which runs until the summer of 2025 with an option to extend it for another year, though at the end of January he expressed his desire to leave the team at the end of the season. Joan Laporta believes that Xavi's decision to leave is not 100% definitive. The heavyweights of the FC Barcelona board, as well as Deco, are for the job of convincing Xavi to back down on his decision to leave at the end of the season.
