According to multiple reports from Spanish media outlet Sport, Xavi is really interested in Villarreal’s Juan Foyth.

The Barca boss is keen on adding the Argentine to the squad heading into next season. It’s a rumor that keeps on cropping up and it seems that Xavi is convinced by the defender.

Part of the problem with this pursuit is that Villarreal isn’t that big on negotiating for him right now, so Barca might need to put out the buy-out clause of 60 million euros. Which, news flash, probably isn’t going to happen.

Barca will likely need a change in heart from Villarreal for a deal to take place this summer.

Meanwhile…

Xavi has called up starlet Lamine Yamal for first-team training after Barcelona after he returned from a four-game ban for a discipline breach while on Spain Under-17 duty.

The teenager is widely regarded as the next big thing to emerge from La Masia but was disciplined by the club for his behaviour.

Now his punishment has been served, it seems Barca are busy pampering the youngster, and have called him up to the last few first-team training sessions.
