Thiago Motta denies Barcelona contact over Xavi Hernandez replacement
Thiago Motta’s agent, Alessandro Canovi, has firmly denied any contact between his client and FC Barcelona regarding a potential managerial role.
This statement comes amidst growing speculation about Xavi Hernandez’s uncertain future at the Catalan club.
As Xavi and club president Joan Laporta engage in crucial talks, rumors swirl about who might take the reins if a change is made.
Motta has earned considerable praise this season after guiding Bologna to their first-ever UEFA Champions League qualification. This remarkable achievement has significantly boosted his reputation in Serie A and beyond.
However, despite the links to Barcelona and potential interest from Juventus, Canovi insists no discussions have taken place.
“No approach has been made, nor have we offered Thiago’s services to Barcelona,” Canovi clarified in an interview with Diario Sport.
His comments aim to quell the rumors and provide clarity amid the ongoing saga surrounding Barcelona’s managerial position.
With just one game left in both La Liga and Serie A, the future remains uncertain for Xavi and Barcelona. The outcome of these final matches could influence the club’s decision-making process.
Xavi, a former Spanish international and Barcelona legend, faces increasing pressure after a mixed season.
Thiago Motta, whose contract with Bologna expires at the end of June, continues to focus on his current role, despite the mounting speculation. As the season draws to a close, fans and pundits alike eagerly await the resolution of this managerial conundrum.
The football world will watch closely to see whether Xavi retains his position or if Barcelona opts for a fresh start with a new face at the helm.
