Xavi has reaffirmed hopes of playing out his career with Barcelona. The veteran hasn't seen regular action this season under coach Luis Enrique.
"If it was up to me I'd never leave Barcelona, but circumstances are what decide these things," said Xavi.
"I could have left many times but my feelings always won out. I told the club that I didn't want to play for another team in Europe; I didn't want to play against Barcelona. I would like to end my career here."
