Xavi Hernandez update: Barcelona President avoiding manager as they do not have money to sack him – report

Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez remains in situ, but it’s an uncomfortable situation. According to the latest updates, his continuity hinges on the financial realities at Barcelona.

Xavi reportedly is aware that President Joan Laporta has decided to sack him, but has no intention of changing his mind. Marca say that Xavi will not walk at the end of the season, less than a month after Laporta told the world that they believed in him, and his exit will be the result of a sacking. Meanwhile Laporta continues to be of the opinion that Barcelona are better off without Xavi next season. Laporta continues to avoid Xavi’s requests to meet, and will do so after the season has ended.

On the other hand, Diario AS suggest that Laporta’s desire to delay the meeting is to buy time. Barcelona do not have the money to pay out Xavi and his staff, reportedly a cost aroud €20m. If they do not find that money, then Laporta will propose that Xavi continues next season, and even if he does not, financially the only viable alternative is Barca Atletic’s Rafael Marquez as things stand.
