Barcelona are reportedly continuing to hold discussions with Xavi with regards to becoming their next manager.
President Joan Laporta has publicly supported current boss Ronald Koeman, despite the ongoing issues over the club's style of play and current results.
However, it has long been claimed that Xavi can take over as Barcelona manager when he wishes, something which Laporta is seemingly looking to accelerate.
According to 90min, the relevant parties are in constant dialogue about the former midfielder replacing Koeman in the dugout.
The 41-year-old has been in charge of Qatari side Al Sadd since 2019, his club winning the last league title without suffering a defeat.
In sharp contrast, Barcelona sit down in ninth position in La Liga and have suffered back-to-back defeats in the Champions League.
