Xavi has been strongly linked with the Manchester United manager job this season.
It was reported last week that CEO Omar Berrada has met with his representatives.
Multiple meetings were held in Barcelona but concrete contract negotiations have not been had yet.
Xavi has made it clear that he does not want to coach in La Liga again, and wants his next challenge to be elsewhere in Europe.

Now, the former Barcelona manager’s wife has dropped a massive hint that he could be coming to Manchester.
In a social media post, she uploaded a photo of her son wearing a United kit, while sitting next to Xavi at a table.
The six-year-old was wearing last season’s home kit and was pictured playing cards with his father.
Despite the board’s strong interest interest in Xavi, their talks over the last few months have clearly been unsuccessful.
Part of the reason why United stuck with Erik ten Hag through the international break was because they failed to reach an agreement with any other elite manager.

Perhaps Xavi did not meet the criteria that United’s hierarchy were hoping for.
It would certainly be a surprise if he was uninterested in the job, especially after today’s social media post.
The 44-year-old has been out of work since May 2024 after he was relieved of his duties by club president Joan Laporta.
He led Barcelona to La Liga glory in his penultimate season and the Spanish Super cup in the same year.
In 244 games as a manager since 2019, Xavi has won 156 of them – a 64% win rate.
