Barcelona president wants Xavi and Busquets to sign new deals

“It is a matter that lies chiefly with Txiki, but I think that the negotiations need to be pushed forward in the interest of both parties,” Laporta told Sport.

“Xavi and Busquets are two players of the present and future and I think that they feel very clearly that their priority is Barcelona and that they will be with us for many more years.

“We will make every effort to retain them.”
