The match between Barcelona and Levante is extremely decisive. Although we are still in the dawn of LaLiga, Ronald Koeman defines his immediate future as a culé coach and a bad result could be goodbye. One of the candidates to replace him on the Camp Nou bench is Xavi Hernández, who will be attentive to what happens in said duel and the consequences.
Xavi’s name has been linked to Barça since rumors of a possible dismissal of Koeman began. Although, it was not the first choice of President Joan Laporta. However, according to certain Catalan media such as Mundo Deportivo, the former midfielder was gaining integers in the manager’s consideration and today he is one of the favorites.
Given this, Xavi remains on the lookout, beyond continuing in Qatar under the position of Al-Sadd’s coach. However, before any movement that Barcelona makes, the Catalan will be extremely attentive. In this way, certain rumors are discarded that he himself would rule out the possibility if they offered it to him.
This has been confirmed by the aforementioned media, which goes more in depth regarding Xavi’s chance. A call from Laporta, which has not happened, could tip the balance for him to say goodbye to his successful career in Qatar and finally arrive in Barcelona. But, for now, beyond being attentive, he will not make any movement if he does not arrive from the culé directive.
For now, Barça vs Levante this Sunday will be a new test for Koeman. Failure to pass it, the farewell would be imminent even when the team has to play against Benfica for the Champions League during the week and, on top, play against Atlético de Madrid the following Saturday for LaLiga. (Bolavip)
