However, Xavi hasn't completely closed the door on Barcelona and has confirmed that he will be open to return to the club. 

It would be another honor to return to the club of my life one day… we will see. The fans must understand that the economic situation is difficult. I am leaving with the love of the fans and that fills me with pride”, said Xavi.
