There have been reports of Barcelona players falling out with Quique Setien recently in which the likes of Messi and Suarez are said to be ignoring some instructions.

Even before Setien was appointed as Barcelona coach, Xavi was linked with a return to the club where he made his name, but refused to join.

According to Mundo Deportivo, a “firm agreement” is in place that would see Barcelona pay Xavi, 40, a tasty £5.4million per year.
