Catalan sports paper Sport claims that Barcelona officials will soon meet with Iván Corretja, the agent of Barcelona midfielder and Spanish international Xavi (28), to talk about a contract renewal of the player (read more here).
Barcelona would consider to offer Xavi a contract extension until the year 2013 or 2014, that would include a pay rise that, as a reward for his performance and his loyalty to the club, would place the Catalan midfielder amongst the best paid players of the squad.
The plan would be that Xavi, whose current contract expires in the summer of 2010, retires playing for Barcelona and will then become a member of the technical staff. Xavi could sign his new contract in the next two weeks.
Catalan sports paper El Mundo Deportivo claims that Xavi will at least be offered an extension until 2012. The renewal negotiations are already underway for a while and an agreement could be announced in the coming weeks.
Inter Milan would meanwhile again be interested in Xavi, with manager José Mourinho wanting to bring the player to Italy (read more here).

Wld be glad for him and the team. Fantastic player
I hope this comes true. He has definetly earned it.
Xavi is the Barca-man for life so of course he will retire in Barca.
Més que un club!!!
ASAP
This is a great initiative by Barca. Xavi is a very special player, and he deserves it and much more.
Does anyone know a list of best paid players in Barca?
Barcelona = Xavi = Catalan Spirit
Hey Pep,
Do you have a resource for finding out player salaries? For example, what the salary on a standard B-team contract?
I'm not really following the player salaries, James, it's just too difficult to get reliable information. You don't know if it's net or not. You have a fixed part and incentives.
About the B team players: I just read that Busquets would now now earn 30 000 euro a year.
No way Xavi is going to inter so get it out of your head Mourinho
He is the best midfielder in the world. He deserves it.
