While Xavi announced his departure from Barça at the end of the season, Joan Laporta was seduced by a name.

It’s a real waltz of coaches preparing for next summer. Bayern Munich, Liverpool and even FC Barcelona will be looking for a new technician after the announced departures of Thomas Tuchel, Jürgen Klopp and Xavi Hernandez.

In the ranks of the Catalan club, the next offseason promises to be very lively. Eager to restore its image, FC Barcelona would like to attract a coach who fits into its philosophy and is capable of combining the aesthetic dimension with results.

A priority track for Barça

If Xavi met this profile, the legend of the Catalan club was not completely convinced. A name would emerge in the upper management of the club: Mikel Arteta. According to information from Onze d’ESport3, Joan Laporta would be totally seduced by the profile of the Spanish technician.

A rising value on the coaching market, Arteta has managed to put Arsenal back at the top in the hierarchy of the big English clubs. He also has the advantage of knowing the Catalan house after having passed through the Masia in his training course when he was still a player. But Barça will have to come up against the Arsenal board for a coach still under contract and highly rated for two years. Julian Nagelsmann, Thomas Tuchel, Hansi Flick, Luis Enrique and Roberto De Zerbi are other names mentioned to succeed Xavi.
