Despite reports linking him with an exit, fresh reports now indicate that Barcelona midfielder Xavi will remain at Camp Nou for the upcoming season.
The 34-year-old had been reportedly set to make a move away from his native Spain, with several sides, including Middle Eastern outfit Al Arabi and new MLS club NYC FC both making offers to bring him on board.
However, as per recent reports, he has opted to change his mind after having productive talks with both current Blaugrana boss Luis Enrique and president Josep Maria Bartomeu regarding what his role with last year's La Liga runners up will be this season.
As a result, the World Cup and Champions League winner will be still featuring with the team where he has made over 700 appearances and present another option for his new coach as Barca look to make amends for last season, which saw them fail to claim either the league title or the Champions League.
