BARCA EYE POSSIBLE TRANSFER FOR PIQUE REPLACEMENT

Barca have been hailed for their transfer ambition of having enough attackers in their squad and they moved to achieve that goal by signing a couple of forwards in the January winter transfer window to that effect. However, in order to establish a balance in the squad, they would also have to sign defenders, an area where they are currently lagging behind. With Gerard Pique rapidly approaching the end of his career, and Eric Garcia also not yet reaching the expected heights, there is a need for Xavi to bring in at least one solid defender in the summer.

XAVI TAKES AIM

Former Barcelona star Xavi Hernandez has a very strict opinion when it comes to signing players who leave Barca for the big contracts (like Bellerin did) only to profess their love for the club and beg for a return as soon as they make it big!

Hector Bellerin is a 22 year old defender who began his playing career in the youth academy of Barcelona but chose to move to Arsenal, where he has a contract with which extends until 2023. Tabloid press have linked the Spanish club with bringing Bellerin back to Camp Nou but Xavi Hernandez on the other hand has a very different opinion about bringing Hector Bellerin back.

XAVI BACKS TITANOVA

One of the best players at Barcelona – Xavi Hernandez – has said that it is a pleasure to work with the current manager Tito Vilanova, who has been able to match Barcelona's best start to a league season in his first season as a manager. Xavi Hernandez has worked with some of the best managers in the world like Frank Rijkaard and Guardiola.

XAVI BACKS VILANOVA

The Barcelona midfielder Xavi has said that he is extremely confident that the new manager Tito Vilanova can be as successful as the former manager Pep Guardiola. The former Barcelona captain took over the reins from Frank Rijkaard in 2008 and made Barcelona one of the most successful clubs in the world in the last few years.

He has also changed the philosophy of the club to the glory days of Cruyff, will also be responsible for making the Argentine Lionel Messi one of the best players in the world. During the last few years, Barcelona have lifted an astonishing 16 trophies.
