FC Barcelona could be considering selling Xavi Hernández next
summer in order to pave the way for a major move for Cesc Fàbregas,
according to AS.
According to the report, technical secretary Txiki Begiristain has
been advocating selling the homegrown playmaker as he feels that he
has lost some of his sparkle.
Club president Joan Laporta has always been angered by seeing
Fàbregas leave the club and is intent on bringing him back.
AS claim that an agreement, signed by former vice-president Sandro
Rosell, gives the Blaugrana first refusal on the Arsenal midfielder
if he ever decides he wants to leave north London.
Xavi has been a regular in the Barça side for several seasons, but
Begiristain is concerned that he is no longer the driving force he
once was.
With Andrés Iniesta impressing in various positions, the Catalan
outfit have a ready-made replacement, but want Fàbregas to come
back to be the creator in their side.
