Barcelona president Laporta: Xavi renewal won't be problem

Barcelona president Joan Laporta says coach Xavi's renewal "won't be a problem".

Xavi will enter new contract talks after the LaLiga title was confirmed with victory at Espanyol last night. '

Laporta said: “There won't be a problem.

"He is a club man. He perfectly understands the circumstances of the club and that he deserves recognition from the club. We are in an austerity plan and I am calm because he is the first to assume it. Xavi was clear that he wanted to be a Barça coach. Maybe more than me.

"He has a lot in common from (Pep) Guardiola's early days."
