Barcelona's management has decided on the ideal candidate to replace Xavi, who angered president Joan Laporte with his comments at a press conference.
According to Sport.es, Barcelona's sporting director Deco and the club's football coordinator Bojan Krkic flew to London today to meet with German coach Hansi Flick. The appointment of Flick is a personal wish of Barcelona president Joan Laporta.
It is expected that if Barcelona fails to reach an agreement with Flick, Xavi will be replaced by Barcelona B head coach Rafael Marquez.
