Xavi Hernandez’s days in Barcelona are numbered, despite the club’s board of directors recently agreeing with him to complete the remaining year of his contract, and to reverse the decision to leave that he made a few months ago.
Things have completely changed in the last hours due to the statements made by Xavi before the Almeria match in the Spanish League, which the administration, headed by club president Joan Laporta, believes are harmful to the club, because the technical director spoke about the bad financial situation that the “Blaugrana” is experiencing, and that it was not… He should do that.
After the headlines in the Spanish newspapers since last April 24 said: Stay, Xavi, with the blessing of Laporta, who announced in a press conference that Xavi would continue as technical director of the team, after a meeting with Rafa Yuste, vice president of the club, and Deco, the sporting director, in the presence of Xavi himself, the data differed and changed. During the last hours, Xavi has become dissatisfied with the administration, and everyone hopes to oust him, because Laporta is very angry at his statements in which he talked about the club’s financial situation.
Xavi had justified, saying: I am saying what I think… the club’s economic situation is not at its best, but we are continuing to “breathe” to the maximum extent. He added: The Board of Directors did not say anything in this regard to me personally, but the Vice President was with us, and we must fight to win all the championships and titles, but the situation is not easy, and that will not change our reality, and the reality of the financial situation within the club.
The newspaper “Marca” revealed that Xavi’s departure is also not an easy matter, because it causes greater harm to the club, which is suffering financially at the present time, as if Xavi is released before the end of his contract, he will be entitled to 15 million euros in compensation, just as It is stipulated in his contract in the “penalty clause” in addition to another 5 million for his support staff, meaning that Barcelona is required to pay 20 million euros for him and his staff in order for them to leave, and this is an additional problem for a club that is suffering financially.
