Xavi Hernandez could have his 'days numbered' in charge of Barcelona, less than a month after surprising everyone by announcing his decision... to remain in charge, when he had already communicated his decision to leave at the end of the season.

The president of the Catalan club, Joan Laporta, will not have liked to hear the coach publicly state that it would not be easy to compete with Real Madrid and other European football powerhouses next season due to financial difficulties, and is seriously considering the possibility of dismissing him.

A decision that will condition the future of a number of players, starting with João Félix and João Cancelo, who are on loan from Atlético de Madrid and Manchester City respectively until the end of the season.

The Catalan leaders were counting on the coach's 'input' to decide whether or not it would be worth making a financial effort to acquire them on a permanent basis, but in the event of a 'psychological shock', the decision will be left in the hands of his successor.

A situation that extends to Bernardo Silva, the Portuguese international who plays for Manchester City and who was one of Xavi's favourite targets, as the Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo writes this Wednesday.

The uncertainty also affects... FC Porto, who want to sign Vítor Roque on loan, given that the Brazilian has not been playing many minutes under the current coach, a scenario that could change if he were to be dismissed.
