FC Barcelona vice-president Rafael Yuste has once again left the door open for Xavi Hernandez to honor his contract next season, despite announcing he will leave this summer.
Xavi was facing dismissal after a humiliating defeat to Villarreal at Montjuic in January, when Xavi shocked not only the world, but also the board and president Joan Laporta by announcing his resignation.
Since then, FC Barcelona have not really progressed, remaining eight points behind Real Madrid at the top of the table, although the Whites have produced three draws in their last six matches. However, he ended the streak of four years without a Champions League quarter-final, after the 3-1 victory against Napoli.
What if Xavi stayed?
After the match, Yuste was coy about the possibility of Xavi reversing his decision, according to Sport.
“I respect his decision. He knows what I’m thinking, let’s see what happens. I really like Xavi Hernandez.”
Xavi was naturally asked again about his future after the match, but he didn’t give much information.
” Nothing will change. There are too many emotions. Calm. Step by step “. In the final moments of the match, the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys rang out with Xavi’s name. Before FC Barcelona missed the opportunity to close the gap on Real Madrid against Athletic Club, there was talk of Xavi possibly remaining at the club, and sporting director Deco admitted that he would be considered if Xavi was ready to change his mind.
