Xavi under pressure
In the Catalan media, Xavi’s future is on all the front pages. The principal concerned declared at a press conference that he did not feel threatened. With the reception of Ray Vallecano at the start of the evening, the stakes are high. Barca must secure 2nd place to compete in the next Spanish Super Cup. A meeting between Laporta and Xavi is planned for tomorrow. Mundo Deportivo reveals that Thiago Motta’s name was slipped internally to succeed Xavi. Seeing the Spanish coach stay seems to be complicated, especially when we see his relationship with his players according to information from Sport. Through their agent, Robert Lewandowski, Joao Felix and even Ronald Araujo have expressed their discomfort regarding the management of Xavi. The Catalan sometimes shows too much force and his choices are illegible.
Allegri and Juve, it’s over!
Massimiliano Allegri is at the heart of the news in Italy. For the Gazzetta Dello Sport, there is talk of a standoff between Juventus and the technician. Under contract until 2025, Allegri must still receive €7 million from the Turin club. Juve has a strategy to avoid paying this amount. After his rather crazy behavior during the Italian Cup final and his protests with the referees, Juve accuses Allegri that his behavior constitutes a serious violation of the principle of loyalty. If it is recognized as such, Juve will not have to pay its compensation. A welcome economy which will allow more room for maneuver for the possible arrival of Thiago Motta. The pink paper daily evokes a planned meeting between the former Parisian and the management of the Bianconeri.
Chelsea are banking on the future
The London club are close to an agreement with Palmeiras to sign Estevao Willian. According to the Mirror, the Blues had representatives in the stands on Wednesday to watch the 17-year-old striker play against Independiente del Valle. The club has already negotiated with the player and is preparing to make an offer close to €65 million, which the Brazilian club should accept. The 17-year-old striker will join the Blues in 2025, after turning 18. He is described as the new Messi.
