Xavi Hernandez sent a message to Barcelona president Joan Laporta in the run-up to the game against Real Mallorca. With La Liga title under his belt, the 'Cules' coach is already thinking about next season.
In his opinion, the Barca coach cannot imagine a squad without a replacement for Sergio Busquets, hence his priority and ambition: "We have to find that piece that can take Sergio's place. It's fundamental to have it. It's the key to competing next season. Without it, we won't compete. It won't be easy, but we depend on Financial Fair Play.
Xavi Hernandez gave clues as to what that priority signing should be like for him: "He has to be decisive, physically strong, technically good and tactically clever. There is no replacement at home and we need the most complete player, the best".
The situation at the Catalan giants is as follows: Joan Laporta has his mind focused on Ruben Neves. 'A Bola' assured that in the Condal City there is already an agreement with Wolves for the transfer of the Portuguese in exchange for 30 million euros and Ansu Fati.
However, Xavi Hernandez dreams of 2 specific players. The first one wears the '3', plays for Real Sociedad and his name is Martin Zubimendi. The second competes in Germany and won the Bundesliga against all odds: Joshua Kimmich.
