Cesc Fabregas has hinted that Xavi will leave Barcelona this summer.
Fabregas recently swapped the Camp Nou for Chelsea and the Spanish international has claimed that his countryman could be ready to step aside from the limelight at Barcelona.
"[Xavi] and Puyol have decided to step aside, to be closer to their families, away from so much demand," he told reporters.
Xavi has been strongly linked with a move to Qatari Al Sadd.
Meanwhile, a number of Premier League clubs are also believed to be monitoring proceedings.
