Barcelona coach Xavi is set to sign a new contract at the club but will only extend until 2025.
It had previously been reported that Xavi would sign on until 2026, but it now seems he will only put pen to paper on a one-year extension. His current deal expires at the end of the season.
Marca are reporting that although Xavi always made it clear that he wanted to stay on, the contract negotiations have not been at all “simple” with the club.
Xavi asked for a significant pay rise, after starting out on a low salary because of the club’s financial situation, and also as reward for winning the league.
