Xavi leaving Barcelona for a move to the US?

22 July 2014 - 13:52

Barcelona are expected to announce that club legend Xavi Hernandez will be leaving Camp Nou after 23 years of service.

  • Chelsea midfielder looking forward to London derby vs Spurs
  • Arsenal in the front row to sign Dutch striker

  • The club captain has negotiated a settlement on the two years left on his contract leaving the way clear for him to join Manchester City’s MLS franchise New York City.

    The club captain who was signed up at the Camp Nou when he was 11-years-old went on to play a record 723 matches for them, winning 22 trophies and leaves the club after 16 seasons with the team. 

    Manchester City’s new MLS side New York City looks like being his new destination that will still give him a year to fill ahead of their big kick-off in 2015. 

    Xavi is expected to take part in a benefit game for Deco who retired last year on Friday.

    He will line up along side Ronaldinho, Samuel Eto'o and Leo Messi in a match between the Porto side that won the Champions League under Jose Mourinho in 2004 and the Barcelona side that won it in 2006 in Portugal on Friday.
