Barcelona president Joan Laporta is said to be “doing everything possible” to convince Xavi to stay on as coach past the end of the current campaign.
Xavi announced he would step down at the end of the season back in January amid a tricky run of results that had seen the coach come in for plenty of criticism.
Barca’s form has improved since then and Laporta, Deco and Rafa Yuste have all said publicly they hope Xavi will change his mind.
Laporta is also busy working behind the scenes to try and keep hold of Xavi, according to Relevo’s Matteo Moretto, but so far without any success.
