For us it is important to finish second. But the planning is not going to change. The relief is to win ourselves and the four games we have left.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked whether he had made a decision on the future of Ansu Fati, who will return from his disappointing loan with Brighton &amp; Hove Albion this summer, Xavi said: \u201cStop asking me about planning because I won\u2019t say any names.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/01hxrmvmzdw6r9x5gr8q.jpg\" alt=\"Ansu Fati\" title=\"Ansu Fati\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Fati\u2019s future needs to be addressed \/ Giampiero Sposito\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<p>Reports suggest Barcelona are close to wrapping up their first signing of the summer in the shape of Real Betis midfielder Guido Rodriguez, a long-time target who will be available on a free transfer after his contract expires.<\/p>\n<p>The club do have a number of ambitious dreams but officials have publicly insisted nothing will be formally planned until Barcelona have a better idea of their financial situation. Club vice-president Rafa Yuste pointed to the need to meet La Liga\u2019s 1:1 formula \u2013 being at such a point of financial strength that they are permitted to spend \u20ac1 for every \u20ac1 raised \u2013 before talking about transfers.<\/p>\n<p>Fati\u2019s future will be a subject of real debate as he prepares to return to Camp Nou. The 21-year-old joined Brighton on loan last summer in the hope of rediscovering both his fitness and his form, but he has started just three times in the Premier League and has a total of four goals from 25 appearances in all competitions.<\/p>\n<p>Talks will also need to be held over Vitor Roque, whose\u00a0agent recently vowed to pursue a permanent move away from Barcelona\u00a0this summer if they cannot guarantee him a significant improvement to his minutes next season.<\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Barcelona manager Xavi warned reporters to stop asking him about the club\u2019s\u00a0transfer\u00a0plans during a frustrated press conference on Sunday.
