Laporta makes 'big promise' to Xavi amid his decision to stay

Joan Laporta has assured Xavi there will be big signings this summer, reports Diario Sport's Ivan San Antonio.

This was crucial to the Barca boss' decision to stay at Barcelona beyond this season.

The Catalans are expected to receive a transfer boost by reverting to the 1:1 rule that would allow them to sign players without any financial restrictions. If it happens and Barca sell a few players, they are expected to go for stars like Bernardo Silva and Joshua Kimmich.

Xavi reportedly wants the club to strengthen three positions this summer – this includes landing two high-profile players.
