Fabrizio Romano confirms Xavi is eager to manage Chelsea but reveals no formal approach has been made by the club's owners, BlueCo. This latest update sheds light on a situation that could significantly impact Chelsea's managerial landscape.
Xavi, fresh off his tenure at Barcelona, remains a top candidate in Chelsea's search for a new head coach. Despite reports suggesting interest from the Blues, journalist Ben Jacobs asserts that Chelsea isn't planning to pursue Xavi at this time, although his representatives believe there’s ongoing interest. Jacobs noted that Chelsea is exploring other options, including Xabi Alonso, Marco Silva, and Andoni Iraola.
Romano emphasizes that there are currently "zero contacts" between Chelsea and Xavi, stressing that this isn't a matter of disrespect but rather a lack of discussions. He highlights Xavi’s readiness for a managerial role outside Spain and his openness to opportunities in the Premier League. While Xavi dreams of the English top flight, Chelsea’s focus appears to be on different candidates for now. The situation remains fluid, and any developments could change the course of Chelsea's managerial search dramatically.
