Xavi's whislist for next summer

And according to reports in Spain, the former midfield general has wished Pogba would be among his four major signings in the summer transfer window.

The Frenchman's current deal with Man United is set to expire at the end of the season as a new deal is not in his sight at the moment.

Erling Haaland is another major signing Xavi would love to land when he takes over the vacant managerial position at the Camp Nou.

The Norwegian striker is arguably the hottest talent at the moment and the Al Sadd boss believes Barca is the best destination for the youngster.

Highly-rated French defender Jules Kounde who plies his trade with Sevilla and Barcelona academy who play for RB Leipzig completes Xavi's choice of summer signings ahead of next season.

Mykola Shaparenko's shot went agonizingly after catching the Barca defence unawares early minutes in the game.

Messi reveals plans to return to Barcelona after his playing career

YEN.com.gh also reported that Lionel Messi has revealed that he will be making a return to Barcelona after his playing career is over, Mirror.
