Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu insists there's been no fresh contact with Al Sadd coach Xavi.

The Blaugrana president also dismissed rumours that linked Xavi with the Barca coach's role, but stressed that he maintains a good relationship with the current Al Sadd tactician.

"Xavi is a player with whom I have an excellent relationship," he told Mundo Deportivo.

"But Quique Setien currently has a contract with Barcelona and still has a contract for next year.

"We have always said that Quique Setien is our coach and he will guide us in this Champions League, which is our great hope.

"Napoli is the first step, and then he'll continue in the following season."
