Xavi claims a fortune to extend with his staff

Towards a conflict between Xavi Hernandez and his management? Arrived in November 2021 to replace Ronald Koeman, the Catalan technician did not take long to impose his paw in his old garden. Despite eliminations in the group stage of the Champions League, he managed to win the Spanish Super Cup against Real Madrid as well as La Liga this season, which had eluded the Blaugrana since the departure of Lionel Messi. Building on this success, the former midfielder arrives in a strong position at the negotiating table for the extension of his contract as well as that of his staff.

Xavi demands too much

Currently, he is linked until 2024 with the Catalans, and for several weeks they have been talking with Joan Laporta, his president, to continue the adventure. But according to information from the Padlock Ser, his demands would be a far cry from what the club are willing to offer. The radio explains that they would like to obtain a total envelope of 30 million euros gross for him and his staff, a sum that the management, already in financial difficulty, does not intend to align for the moment. While there doesn’t seem to be any tension at the moment, it could be different in the coming months as Xavi gets closer to the end of his contract.

Xavi is asking for a €30m gross combined salary for him and his staff. As of now, their demands are far from what the club wants to pay.
