As club football season draws to a close gradually, all eyes are getting fixed on the upcoming transfer window that will be open for clubs this summer to allow them make additions to their squads. This summer may well have a lot of surprises in store for football fans across the world, with a lot of speculation surrounding the futures of several star players of big-name clubs, particularly that of Barcelona captain Lionel Messi.
Lionel Messi moved level with former Barcelona teammate Xavi Hernandez on the list of the most appearance makers at the Nou Camp at the weekend during the La Liga game with Alaves. Messi took his number of Spanish La Liga games in a Barcelona shirt to 505 when he was handed a start by manager Ronald Koeman in the 5-1 rout of DeportivoAlaves at home.
One of the candidates running for the Barcelona presidential post Victor Font has declared that should he be elected president, one of his main goals will be to appoint the club’s former midfielder Xavi Hernandez as the Spanish outfit’s next manager.
Despite Spanish side Barcelona opting to go for different other managers in their recent coach appointments, rumors keep making the rounds that the club will later in the future hire its former player Xavi to become its coach.
Former Arsenal midfielder Santi Carzola believes Xavi will return to Barcelona one day as a coach when the time is right. Carzola who now plays under Xavi at Al Sadd was once teammates with the former Barcelona man for the Spain national team and thinks a Camp Nou return is on the cards for Xavi.
Barcelona has a new chief in Ronald Koeman who has also been looking forward to this being his dream job. However, the task does involve having to oust some older team members who are in their thirties but legends themselves. With these tasks in front of him, his tenure might be a short one and last till last year since the club’s top management is currently eyeing Xavi and wish to pick him up for the assignment next year.
