Kind gesture
While many fans are angry with Xavi due to the team’s current performance, he may leave an appreciated impression in the end as he has no intention of creating a problem for the debt-ridden club if it wants to remove him from his position by giving up the remaining salary on his contract.
The newspaper “AS” confirmed that Xavi does not want to harm Barcelona if he leaves, by avoiding causing him financial damages and obliging him to pay his remaining dues.
He receives $4.24 million (3.9 million euros) annually.
Xavi took over as coach of Barcelona in November 2021, succeeding his colleague, club legend Ronald Koeman, and his contract extends until June 2025.
Xavi led Barcelona in 119 matches, during which he won 74 matches, while losing 24 and drawing 21 others.
In terms of titles, Barcelona won the La Liga and Spanish Super Cup titles last year under Xavi.
