Xavi 'willing to stay' at Barca for one more year — 3 BIG possible replacements

Xavi is now willing to complete his contract at Barcelona and stay for one more year, Mundo Deportivo reports.

The Spanish gaffer will reportedly confirm his final decision after a meeting with Deco and Laporta in the coming days.

Barcelona intend to appoint an experienced manager who understands the club's DNA when Xavi leaves. However, that may not be possible this summer with their options limited.

Pep Guardiola, Luis Enrique and Mikel Arteta are Barca's preferred options when Xavi leaves. The three successful coaches will become free agents in 2025 and could be tempted with a return to Barca.

For now, Xavi remains Barca's first choice with Barca B coach Rafa Marquez the next option if talks to keep Xavi fall through.

It's been a hit-and-miss season for the Blaugrana who will likely finish the campaign without winning a trophy after falling 11 points behind Real Madrid in the title race with six games left.
