❗️Both in the meeting with Deco and also at Joan Laporta’s home, Xavi was given optimism that Barça will considerably improve the FFP situation and return to 1:1. In this way they can make signings with guarantees. In addition, the intention is not to sell any structural player unless it is the player himself who asks to leave like Dembélé last year.

❗️The brutal and total support from the players has been vital for Xavi to say yes to his continuity for another season. From the first day they had been going to his office to try and get him to reconsider his decision of leaving. Via: martinezferran

❗️Joan Laporta, knowing he couldn’t bring in any coach he personally considers 'top', ​​did not see any other coach capable of improving a squad that Xavi knows perfectly well, especially by how he trusts the youngsters in this team. martinezferran

We're obviously delighted to see Xavi stay on for another season. But the concessions he has negotiated from Laporta and the Board are really going to determine whether this is a good move for him or not.

Barcelona is with Xavi. There is total unity among the club. They will protect him now — he is the chosen one. ffpolo

Almost to the day 3 months ago, Xavi announced his departure. He spent the intervening period standing behind his decision in press conference after press conference. And now, after 2 catastrophic defeats, he abruptly changes his mind. There is undoubtedly a story in here somewhere and I hope we get all the details.

🚨 During today’s meeting, Xavi conveyed to the club about how he wants to learn from his mistakes. Everyone changed their mind in the last moment and decided to continue. altobelli13
