Daniel Alves is stunned by the news that Barcelona teammate Xavi is set to leave. Al-Arabi coach Dan Petrescu has claimed that the 34-year-old midfielder has signed a pre-contract agreement with his club, although the player himself has yet to comment on his future.
"Are you kidding me?" the 31-year-old right-back told AS when made aware of Xavi's current situation.
"I cannot believe it. You must be kidding. It cannot be. Not Xavi. If Xavi, who is the emblem of the club, can leave, then anyone can leave now.
"I don't understand it. You have me in shock. It can't be. Xavi cannot leave Barca."
