Before linking his future to that of Barça, Xavi refused an approach from a major club in the English championship.

Before he changed his mind about his future at Barcelona, ​​Xavi received an offer from Manchester United. The Catalan technician could therefore have taken charge of the Premier League.

According to the media Relevo, the Mancunians therefore approached him to make him the successor to Erik Ten Hag on their bench. And they’re not the only ones who considered hiring him. This is also the case for Ajax Amsterdam, the sinking giant of the Eredivisie.

Xavi had no shortage of requests

It was in February that Xavi announced his intention to leave Barcelona at the end of the season. For a long time, he was firm about this decision. But he ended up backpedaling, to the great dismay of his courtiers.

Xavi’s decision to stay at Barça, on the other hand, delighted president Joan Laporta. He said: “I am happy to announce that Xavi will remain as coach. He has made statements saying that he was thinking of giving up, but yesterday I had the opportunity to speak with him and he expressed to me his confidence and his ambition to continue a project in which he has already won. .
