Xavi Hernandez, Barcelona's coach, has entered into a dispute with president Joan Laporta regarding a transfer for the upcoming summer. Barcelona had signed Portuguese forward João Félix on loan from Atlético Madrid until next summer. According to the Spanish program "El Chiringuito," Xavi refused to sign João Félix last summer and still opposes his continuation with Barcelona for the next season.
Xavi believes that Félix lacks consistency and, while he has the potential to be among the top players, he does not fully utilize his skills, a situation reminiscent of his time at Atlético Madrid. The popular program indicated that Laporta and sporting director Deco wish for Félix to remain and will negotiate an extension of his loan, contrary to Xavi's wishes. It is worth noting that Félix's performance has declined in recent months, causing him to lose his spot in Barcelona's starting lineup.
