<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/barcelona-t11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barcelona</a> are in rebuild mode again after <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ronald-koeman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ronald Koeman</a>‘s sacking. The Dutchman has failed to turn the club’s fortunes around as Barca are in a tough spot both in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/la-liga-t48" target="_blank" rel="noopener">La Liga</a> and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/champions-league-t24" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UEFA Champions League</a>, leaving a challenging task for the new manager.
Club icon <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/xavi-hernandez" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Xavi Hernandez</a> seems to be just one step away from taking the helm at Camp Nou and he knows he’ll have a tough job ahead of him. Barcelona have been struggling to get results and their performances on the field have left a lot to be desired.
Besides, El Blaugrana are facing a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/messi-leaves-barcelona-why-is-the-club-in-financial-crisis-20210805-0027.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">delicate financial situation</a> that has also prevented them from building a more competitive squad in the summer. But Xavi reportedly has a shortlist of potential signings anyway, hoping that the club can make them possible.

<h2>Paul Pogba reportedly headlines Xavi’s shortlist for Barcelona</h2>
According to El Nacional, Xavi wants to land <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/paul-pogba" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Paul Pogba</a> at the end of the season, when his current deal with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/manchester-united-t10" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Manchester United</a> expires. It seems unlikely he’ll extend his stay at Old Trafford, althoughit doesn’t look easy for Barca as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/juventus-t12" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Juventus</a>, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/real-madrid-t23" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Real Madrid</a>, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/psg-t16721" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PSG</a> would also go after him.
As long as he doesn’t sign a new deal with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/premier-league-t45" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Premier League</a> giants, it would be feasible for Barca as they’d only have to take care of his contract and signing bonus. The other targets on Xavi’s wishlisht, on the other hand, look more complicated.
The Spanish outlet claims <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/erling-haaland" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Erling Haaland</a> also appears on this list, but Barca would be unable to afford his €75m release clause next summer. If they raise the funds, though, they might have a shot as his agent Mino Raiola has a good relationship with Laporta.

Dani Olmo, on the other hand, seems to have more chances of landing at Camp Nou in winter. Barcelona <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/barcelona-make-stunning-58-million-offer-plus-addons-for-rb-leipzig-star-20210831-0022.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">made a late bid</a> to sign him on the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/griezmann-saul-and-the-most-interesting-last-minute-summer-transfer-signings-in-europe-20210901-0020.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> transfer deadline day</a> in the summer but <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/rb-leipzig" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Leipzig</a> weren’t satisfied. Olmo, who emerged from La Masia, is understood to be looking forward to joining Barca, so it remains to be seen whether the club can place the right bid or if Leipzig accept a loan with an option to buy.
And last but not least, El Catalan also claims thatJules Kounde is part of this shortlist. However, the price tag <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sevilla-t121116" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sevilla</a> set for himlooks practically unaffordable, as the La Liga rivals want at least €80m. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/chelsea-t200" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chelsea</a> are also interested in him <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/chelsea-transfer-news-two-la-liga-players-reportedly-on-the-blues-radar-20210820-0015.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">after failing to materialize a deal</a> in the last transfer window.

Barcelona | Report: Man United star Paul Pogba headlines Xavi's wishlist

Barcelona | Report: Man United star Paul Pogba headlines Xavi's wishlist - Bolavip US

It seemed inevitable. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/barcelona-t11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barcelona</a> sacked <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ronald-koeman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ronald Koeman</a> as the team still struggles to get results. His days seemed to be numbered for a long time, but after the defeat to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/memphis-misses-a-penalty-in-barcelonas-defeat-against-rayo-vallecano-funniest-memes-and-reactions-20211027-0015.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rayo Vallecano</a> on Wednesday things reached a point of no return. Now, El Blaugrana will have to look for a new manager.
Sport reported the news just a few hours after Los Cules lost their third game of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/la-liga-t48" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2021-22 La Liga</a>, failing to bounce back from a painful loss to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/real-madrid-t23" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Real Madrid </a>last weekend in El Clasico. But it was just a matter of time before this happened, as the Dutchman has been under heavy fire for months.
Barcelona never got back on track under Koeman, as they were thrashed in the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/champions-league-t24" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UEFA Champions League</a> last season and also at the beginning of the new campaign. Now, his time is over, and Joan Laporta may go after these managers, according to Sport.

<h2>Xavi Hernandez</h2>
A club icon, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/barcelona-top-goalscorers-all-time-20201115-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Xavi Hernandez</a> has spent a lifetime at Camp Nou having emerged from the academy and living an extremely successful era in the Blaugrana uniform. The former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/spain-t146274" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spain</a> international is under contract with Qatari side Al Sadd until 2023. He no longer has a release clause to leave for Barca, but his club may let him leave anyway.
<h2>Marcelo Gallardo</h2>
The successful <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/river" target="_blank" rel="noopener">River Plate</a> manager seems ready to take a step forward in his managerial career and embark on a new adventure in Europe. Marcelo Gallardo has built an unstoppable force in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/copa-libertadores" target="_blank" rel="noopener">South America</a> with an offensive style of play, so he would fit well in Barcelona.
<h2>Roberto Martinez</h2>
The Belgium national team manager has alsobeen linked with the position at Barcelona. Roberto Martinez is under contract until June 2022, which is why he could accept this challenge. Besides, after five years ininternational soccer, he may want to get back to club competition.
