If Xavi has his way, there should be no departures from FC Barcelona during the winter break. At a press conference, the Barça coach clarified: “I’m very happy with the squad. Gerard (Piqué, editor’s note) is gone now. I would prefer it if nobody else left.”
He therefore wants to get the best out of the existing players in order to be successful: “I’m really very happy with the squad I have right now. Our goal is to win titles.” Rumors about a possible departure from the Blaugrana are mainly around Memphis Depay. Above all, Newcastle United should bid for the Dutchman. Midfield strategist Franck Kessié has also caused speculation in the past, but a move to Tottenham Hotspur seems out of the question. So it’s quite possible that Xavi’s wish will come true in the end.
