Xavi’s four top defensive midfielders revealed

FC Barcelona manager Xavi has four names he considers to be the best when it comes to replacing Sergio Busquets, although it is understood that only one has a chance of signing for the club.

According to the latest rumors, they are: Rodri (Manchester City), Joshua Kimmich (Bayern Munich), Marco Verratti (Paris Saint-Germain), and Martín Zubimendi (Real Sociedad).

Rodri is considered practically impossible to acquire, as City have no reason to sell him. There have been some whispers that Kimmich could be on the move, but the chances are still slim.
