What Xavi said in detail
On whether Messi will return: “It depends on him. If he wants to come to Barca, he will do everything. I think the conditions are right. On a football level he will help us a lot, there is no doubt. There are other factors, personal and financial”.
On renewing his contract with Barcelona: “I know that Barcelona will try as hard as they can and there will be no problem. I hope to continue for many years, we will end up renewing”.
For Pique’s end and Alba’s “goodbye”: “When you have to make decisions contrary to what the footballers like it becomes difficult. I had to tell Pique to step aside, that he will play less.
