Matteo Moretto's Transfer Column: Xavi's future, Barcelona contract talks and Luka Modric's move to Real Madrid

Matteo Moretto gives Football España exclusive information on the latest offers dominating the newspapers in Spain, as revealed in Daily Briefing by Fabrizio Romano.

Luka Modric He still hasn't made a 100% decision. There are possibilities outside of Europe for Modric, and there was also the announcement of Dinamo Zagreb, but he will have the possibility to leave Europe. As we know, Carlo Ancelotti asked if he would be interested in joining his coaching staff in January.

Real Madrid keep Toni Kroos, renew. Modric considers the role he could have next season with Real Madrid. Now he doesn't play much, he doesn't have the role he had before, and he weighs how much he could change as well. He will think about it.

It is true that Barcelona is doing the numbers to improve Pedri's contract, and it is true that Barcelona is in discussion with Pau Cubarsi, what Mundo Deportivo says is correct, but there have been contacts for some time. Barcelona want to move forward with this, and want to have his contract tied at the end of the season. There is a full willingness from the player and the club to make an agreement.

With Ronald Araujo, we have to wait a bit, the two parties are talking, but there have been no concrete advances in the talks. When a big offer arrives, we will discuss, but so far, no change.

I think we will have to wait a bit to see who will be the new manager first. As Xavi said, and I can confirm, Xavi's decision has not changed. President Joan Laporta will continue to try to change his mind.

My feeling is that it will not be easy, but clearly Barcelona will try to keep him, because they feel that he is the perfect person to continue a project that he himself has built. From Xavi's point of view, as he said, it's more a personal thing, about exhaustion, mental burden, many different things. Now, nobody knows who will be the manager of Barcelona next season.

The club wants to have things a little clearer by the end of April or the beginning of May. All the potential moves being talked about, first we have to work out who could leave. Without a big exit, it is very difficult to be an expensive signature in the summer.
