To replace Ronald Koeman, the Xavi option is getting thicker

Change in sight at FC Barcelona? Ronald Koeman's position is increasingly fragile and the next results, this Sunday against Levante, against Benfica on Wednesday and then against Atlético Madrid next weekend could be decisive for his future. To succeed him, several names have appeared in the press in recent weeks: Erik ten Hag, Roberto Martinez, Thierry Henry or even Xavi Hernandez. And according to the information of

Mundo Deportivo

, it is the latter who would be the most serious option to take the reins of the Blaugrana in the event of the departure of the former coach of the Netherlands.

The current technician from Al-Sadd (Qatar) has two advantages.

Firstly, he is a legend of the Catalan club.

Second, he is a fan of the position game, so dear to the FCB.

Features that should appeal to Barcelona fans.

After having animated the summer transfer market, Olympique de Marseille could be enterprising during the winter transfer window. According to information published by

L'Équipe

, Jorge Sampaoli would find his workforce limited in the defensive sector. The Argentine would like to have two reliable solutions for each of the positions that make up his defensive trio to be able to rotate with matches every three days. For the moment, the former Sevilla FC coach has seven elements capable of evolving in his "central defense": William Saliba, Leonardo Balerdi, Luan Peres, Alvaro Gonzalez, Duje Caleta-Car, Jordan Amavi and Boubacar Kamara. But the latter is used in midfield, Jordan Amavi does not represent, for the moment, a credible lining to Luan Peres while the Croatian could well leave the Canebière in case of a good proposal. Thus, OM could well go on the offensive to meet the needs of its technician.
