Hansi Flick has emerged as one of the leading candidates to take over Barcelona if Xavi is sacked but the Catalan club will not make a final decision until president Joan Laporta meets the coach at a meeting scheduled for next week, sources told ESPN.

Sources add that Barça's second-team manager Rafael Márquez and Thomas Tuchel, who left Bayern Munich at the end of the season, are also on the shortlist while Roberto De Zerbi has also been linked following his departure from Brighton.
