Xavi insists he's happy with his senior role at Barcelona.

The veteran midfielder continues to be linked with a move away this season.

"The feeling of being at Barcelona is, for me, a feeling of happiness. Now I am the captain and the oldest player here and I'm enjoying it hugely. When I play, I try to have fun and I try to keep the team functioning as it should, that's the main thing," he told Barca TV.

"I am very happy not to have left this year, to be able to play games here, to remain a part of things and to be competitive."
