Since leaving FC Barcelona, Xavi Hernández has made it clear that he will not consider proposals from the Saudi Pro-League and will only be available if an opportunity arises at Manchester United.

The former Barcelona coach has instructed his representatives to reject any offers from Saudi Arabia and focus on options in the Premier League.

His decision highlights the ambition of Xavi Hernández: turning down lucrative contracts in the Middle East to wait for a project in England that allows him to compete at the highest level.

Xavi Hernández and his commitment to Manchester United

As reported by CaughtOffside, Xavi Hernández is willing to take over at Manchester United if there is a change of management at Old Trafford. With Rúben Amorim under pressure due to poor results, Xavi's name is among the top candidates. His decision not to negotiate with clubs from Saudi Arabia confirms him as a concrete option geared towards European football.

For him, it's not just about an attractive contract; he aspires to lead a historically significant team in a league known for its media and sporting competitiveness.

Rejected Saudi offers: Focus on English football

Interest from teams in Saudi Arabia has been notable: tempting offers, high salaries, and ambitious projects positioned him as a real choice. However, Xavi Hernández has opted to decline those alternatives and maintain his availability for the European market, particularly in England. This stance sets him apart from many coaches of his generation who often accept immediate offers; he prefers to wait for what he deems the right move. This attitude defines him as a strategist with a long-term vision, more concerned with project quality than contract size.

Strategic advantage at the Old Trafford helm

The potential arrival of Xavi Hernández at Manchester United would signify a radical shift in the club's philosophy. His possession-based, high-pressing, and clean build-up style would align with the board's desire to reclaim the footballing identity lost in recent years. Moreover, his international profile, playing background, and coaching reputation would bring a new media dimension to the Premier League.

Despite his historic ties to FC Barcelona, Xavi has always emphasized his professional growth as a priority. His goal is to coach in the major European leagues and prove that his style can succeed beyond Spain.

As the season progresses and pressure mounts on the Old Trafford sidelines, Xavi Hernández remains composed. He turned down the Saudi Pro-League, keeps an eye on developments in the Premier League, and is confident that his chance will come soon. Time will tell if the Catalan will become the new manager of Manchester United, but his decision already demonstrates one clear thing: Xavi Hernández is solely focused on coaching in the elite of European football.
