Former Atletico Madrid captain Gabi says Xavi is ready for the Barcelona job.
Gabi played for Barca legend Xavi at Al Sadd last season and has just announced his retirement.
He told El Larguero: “He is ready for Barcelona and I am sure we will see him there soon too.
“I don’t know anything about it, but all the presidential candidates are talking about him.
“He is someone who is involved in football 24 hours a day.”
