Xavi Hernández has reportedly received an offer to take over Juventus, but he has declined the opportunity for now, citing his desire for a sabbatical. Inspired by Pep Guardiola’s decision when he left Barcelona, Xavi is looking to recharge before returning to management with renewed energy. The offer remains on the table, and both Xavi and Juventus have agreed to resume talks in April, with the possibility of Xavi taking charge in the upcoming season.
Juventus is currently struggling, sitting in 15th place in the Champions League group stage and 5th in Serie A, well outside the Champions League qualification spots. The club’s poor performance has led to growing calls for the dismissal of coach Thiago Motta, who has faced criticism for his team’s results and play style. Motta’s attempts to strengthen the defense with the signing of Barcelona’s Ronald Araújo were unsuccessful, as the Uruguayan opted to renew his contract with Barça.
Xavi is reportedly preparing to take over at Juventus with a well-thought-out strategy. Unlike his time at Barcelona, where he had little say in team decisions, he plans to shape his squad by bringing in key players. Araújo tops his list, and he is also targeting Nico Williams, whose 60 million release clause is within Juventus’s reach. Another potential signing is Joshua Kimmich, whose contract with Bayern Munich is expiring and who has been excluded from Barcelona’s plans by coach Hansi Flick.
Lamine Yamal, a close friend of Nico Williams, has shared information about Xavi’s future plans with his Barcelona teammates, adding fuel to the speculation about Xavi’s imminent move to Juventus. With Xavi’s strategy and vision in place, Juventus fans are eager to see how he could reshape the club’s fortunes in the coming season.
