Xavi Hernandez has urged Barcelona to look into the renewals of Ronald Araujo and Gavi.
The duo have been fundamental for Xavi in his tenure as coach. Barcelona have not been able to meet their demands for contract extension. Both have deals until 2023, when they would be able to walk away for free.
When asked about the matter in his pre-match press conference on Saturday. Xavi said:
“The club cannot allow itself to lose Gavi and Araujo, they are very important for us and I am showing that with the minutes I am giving them.”
“I am optimistic and I hope that a solution can be found soon. I think that it’s a question of time. Or so I hope.”
Ronald Araujo has been linked with a move to Manchester United during March, with some sources saying they will double his salary at Barcelona. Gavi on the other hand, is being courted by their rivals Liverpool.
