Xavi Hernandez (44 years old) announced his at the beginning of the year departure from the Barcelona bench at the end of the season, but now reverted to the decision. Following the decision, the Catalan coach decided to strengthen the Barcelona team in the new season.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (23 years old), his player Naplesdoes not go through the best time in Series A and he wants a change in his football career.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has informed Napoli that he wants to transfer to Barcelona

The Georgian striker has refused to extend his contract with the former Serie A champions and is looking for a solution with his agent to reach Barcelona. Mamuka Jugeli, Kvaratskhelia’s impresario, will arrive near Vesuvius next week to persuade De Laurentiis to sell Khvicha to Barcelona.

Napoli is ready to triple his salary, from 1.5 million euros per season, to 4.5 million euros, but even this will not convince the Georgian to sign a new deal. The Napoli winger is excited at the prospect of a move to Barcelona, so the Italians will likely be forced to accept the move, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

If he manages to complete this transfer as well, the Catalan formation will be secured in the offensive department for the new season, so all efforts will later be channeled towards finding a left defender of great value.

€80 million is Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s market share, according to Transfermarkt.
Khvicha scored 10 goals in 41 games for Napoli in all competitions this season.
Kvaratskhelia’s contract with Napoli expires in the summer of 2027.

Xavi asked Pepelu to Barcelona

According to Fichajes, just one day after being announced as Barcelona coach for next season, Xavi has asked for a new player.

According to the cited source, the first player the 44-year-old coach wants to transfer is Pepelu.

The 25-year-old central midfielder is having an excellent season for Valencia: 34 games, 6 goals and an assist.
In December, after the live match, Xavi reportedly personally praised Pepelu in the mixed area, congratulating him on his exceptional season. This gesture did not go unnoticed by the player, who thanked Xavi for his words.
