Since coming to the technical bench, Xavi has greatly changed Barcelona for the better, and the former Catalan midfielder wants to go further with the rejuvenation of the team.
Pique, Busquets, Alba and Depay are close to leaving Barcelona
According to the Iberian press, important names from the Spanish vice-champion team are on the departure list, with Xavi looking to take a pay cut on the occasion.
Gerard Pique (35 years old), Sergio Busquets (34 years old), Jordi Alba (33 years old) and Memphis Depay (28 years old) are on the verge of leaving Barca, they can be sold even during the winter break, according to Fichajes.net.
Having reached a sporting age and being more of a reserve, Pique, Busquets and Alba are closer to leaving Barcelona than to a starting place.
If we take Pique into account, he has played in two games this season: one in La Liga (he started) and the other in the Champions League (he marked 44 minutes).
