Barcelona midfielder Xavi is desperate to see Rafael Marquez and Carles Puyol secured to new deals.

The pair have been tabled new offers by Barca, but neither has agreed to put pen to paper.

"These are two great players who have done a lot for the club. I am also convinced that they can still contribute much to Barcelona," said Xavi.

"I hope everything is settled soon and they'll renew because their presence is important for everyone."
