Coach Xavi set to sign Barcelona contract extension until 2026
SPORT have learned that the renewal will be signed off imminently
Negotiations for the renewal of FC Barcelona coach Xavi Hernández have accelerated in recent weeks and everything indicates that a definitive agreement is about to be reached. In fact, the positions between both parties are very close and there are only a few last details to be resolved before making the news official.
SPORT have learned that Xavi's main priority is to close this issue as soon as possible. The good harmony that the two parties have exhibited during the talks suggests that the renewal is imminent.
Despite the fact that the Catalan coach has one more year on his contract, Joan Laporta, the Blaugrana president, has considered it a priority to ensure his continuity after the great season that the first team has had, winning LaLiga and the Spanish Super Cup.
Everything indicates that the new contract will last for two seasons, meaning that Xavi will renew until June 2026. Xavi is aware of the delicate economic situation that the club are going through and, for that reason, this issue has not been a major obstacle.
