Xavi Hernandez has already told four players they are not in his plans. Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez has confirmed he has spoken to four of his players already about next season and made it clear they are not in his plans for the 2022-23 campaign. Xavi was asked at a pre-match press conference about speculation he has told Riqui Puig, Samuel Umtiti, Martin Braithwaite, and Oscar Mingueza their time at the club is up and confirmed the players are not in his future plans.
“Yes and some others as well. I’ve also talked to some other players. But I’m not going to say publicly. It’s down to every player if they want to announce it or not but I’ve already talked to them yes,” he said. “I think it’s important for the players who aren’t staying to have options, to have time to think about their future. And obviously the players we want to continue. We do need to transmit to the players the intentions we have at the club.
