Barcelona coach Xavi may have said he\u2019s planning on leaving the club at the end of the season but it seems there\u2019s a chance he could still stay on.<\/p>

Joan Laporta has already said he wants Xavi to stay and thinks he hasn\u2019t yet made a \u201cfinal decision\u201d on his future.<\/p>

Diario Sport have a similar opinion as they are reporting Xavi will finally decide after the key games against Real Madrid in La Liga and PSG in the Champions League.<\/p>\n

Barcelona are set for a crunch period in April. They play PSG on the 10th and the 16th (with a trip to Cadiz in between) and then face Real Madrid in El Clasico on April 21st.<\/p>

It\u2019s thought the outcomes of those games will have a massive impact on whether Xavi does change his mind or not.<\/p>\n

The report even reckons a meeting has been scheduled after the trip to the Bernabeu to \u201ctoanalyze the pros and cons\u201d of Xavi staying on.<\/p>\n

If Barcelona don\u2019t make it past PSG and suffer a bad result against Madrid, then it looks like it really will be curtains for Xavi.<\/p>\n

However, if the club can make it through to the semi-finals of the Champions League things might change.<\/p>\n

The other factor working in Xavi\u2019s favour is that Barcelona aren\u2019t 100% convinced on who will replace him at the helm. <\/p>\n
