REVEALED: The figure Barcelona must pay if Xavi sacked

Barcelona will have to cough up if they're to sack Xavi this summer.

Talk is raging that Barca president Joan Laporta will move to axe Xavi at the end of the season. This despite initially backing the coach's decision to reverse his resignation.

Okdiario says should Laporta axe Xavi, his representatives will insist his contract be paid out in full.

As such Barca will face coughing up 15m to clear Xavi off the books - just weeks after they would've paid nothing if the resignation decision had remained.

Barca are said to have Hansi Flick lined up as Xavi's successor.
