Former Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez is being considered as a top candidate to succeed Erik ten Hag as the next manager of Manchester United.
However, Xavi is said to have a specific condition that must be met before he accepts the position.
Fichajes reports that the Spanish coach has stated that his decision to take on the role at Old Trafford depends on Manchester United’s ability to secure the signing of Barcelona captain Raphinha.
Xavi considers the Brazilian winger a key player for boosting the offensive capabilities of the Red Devils, should he decide to take on the responsibility of coaching the Premier League giants.
Xavi’s appreciation for Raphinha is justified, given the forward’s strong performance under Hansi Flick’s leadership at Barcelona this season.
Barcelona is rumored to be willing to part ways with Raphinha, but only if they are presented with an offer around €100 million, setting a substantial price tag for interested parties.
