Xavi's agent, Fernando Solanas, took the initiative to engage in talks with Los Cules regarding a new contract for his esteemed client.

The reason for the delay lies in a crucial meeting scheduled for Wednesday. Xavi is set to sit down with Barcelona's newly appointed sporting director, none other than his former teammate, Deco. It is this meeting that is expected to seal the deal and make Xavi's contract extension official.

The return of the legendary midfielder to Barcelona as a coach in November 2021, following Ronald Koeman's departure, has been nothing short of remarkable. Under his leadership, the Catalan club has already secured two prestigious trophies: the Spanish Supercopa last January and the La Liga title in May.
