Xavi Hernadez as the main coach of Barcelona was denied entry to America.
Barcelona was planned to take part in a series of tours in America, but the American side banned Xavi from entering so the Barcelona vs Montpellier match was cancelled.
It is possible that it is due to visa issues.

[Gianluca95]

It is ridicolous that America has banned a man like Xavi that is known all around the world, he is a VIP and doesn't deserve this treatment. 

My big curiosity is anyway to see how he will adapt his game to Lewandoski, I think that this year at this point Barça could seriosuly compete against Real Madrid !

It's quite unfortunate that Barcelona had to lose Xavi on their pre-season tour in America, when in fact there were several pre-season matches that Barcelona would indeed play in America, but it seems that the American authorities still forbade Xavi to enter America even though they know who Xavi is, I was quite surprised to see some a post here that discusses Xavi and I try to find out the cause of Xavi ban accompanying his team to play in America, from the local media that I read, apparently America has revoked Xavi visa, because Xavi has indeed traveled to Iran 3 times in the last 5 years but I didn't know what a trip to Iran has to do with being barred from entering America?

This season Xavi Hernandez's capacity as a coach will be tested, the selection of player materials and preparation is very thorough, the arrival of Lewandowski and Rapinha will make Barcelona's attack line more varied and strong, we'll see how far this season Barcelona can compete with Real Madrid.

There is no too serious problem behind the ban on Xavi Hernadez from entering the United States on the agenda of Barcelona's pre-season tour of activities. The report I received also said because Xavi had been to Iran, of course as a coach when coaching Al Sadd. The visit was purely because of his duties as a football coach that had to be done.
Next week it looks like all those processes will be completed. Calm.

Well, what can you say about that? In recent years, Barcelona has formed quite a mismanagement with a lot of bad and wrong decisions. Actually, this decision now fits perfectly within that framework. Don't you look for something like this in advance when you travel to the United States to enter the country there? I honestly think it's very amateurish that this happened to Barcelona. And what does the rest of the squad do then? Then without a coach 

[RaltcoinsB]

I don’t know about the rest of the players, but De Jong is not so easy to point to the door - he has a valid contract and if Barcelona wants to break it, they will have to pay him a penalty (in addition to the 20 million they already owe the player). I don't think they can afford it financially. They cannot forcefully sell him either, the player's agent has already stated that De Jong wants to stay at the club and he does not agree to a pay cut.

Frenkie de Jong wants to stay in Barcelona. But due to financial problems, Barcelona decided to sell Frenkie de Jong. But now it doesn't look like Barcelona will sell de Jong right now. Because I heard rumors that Barcelona would raise funds for Lewandowski by selling de Jong. But with the addition of Raphinha, Lewandowski's chances of getting into the squad have dwindled. And so I think Xavi will not accept the decision to sell de Jong.

Lewandowski has already been bought, so the Barcelona management is pressuring De Jong to leave for United. If he does not agree to the transfer, then he will not be taken to the Barcelona tour in the USA. LOL. How I am annoyed by the disrespectful attitude of Barcelona towards the players - both old and new. I hope De Jong will show hardness and stay at the club (he has a contract and in fact he does not care about the problems of the club) 

If he doesn't want to go as long as he has a contract, he won't go.  The final decision is definitely up to him and if Barcelona wants to sell him to Manchester United they don't have to abide by it.  If De Jong is out of the squad, it will be worse for Barcelona because they have to pay his salary and they can't get any benefit from him.  If De Jong wants to go, he will go, if he does not want to go, he will not go.

If he manages to put Lewandowski where he feels more at ease,meaning in the far end of attacking and also is able to harmonize the team so that they provide Lewandowski the needed balls,then it is only normal for Barca to fight for the title and if Lewandowski is capable of adapting with La Liga in the early stages of the new season I truly believe to be difficult for Real Madrid or any other team from the La Liga to stop Barca winning the title this year.

As for America they are a great nation but now and then they screw up with public figures,it is not the first time they have done that and unfortunately it will also not be the last,that is just how things are run there.

I would say Barcelona has the strongest attacking lineup in La Liga right now. They are stronger than Real Madrid. Lewandowski is a very experienced player. At the same time, Raphinha and Fati is young talented player. Moreover, Aubameyang, Torres and Dembele are all talented. Barcelona now has a lot of strikers. I look forward to seeing Xavi's formation in the next season.

this bureaucratic issue he had with Xavi is something that barcelona and just like any team would have thought of before traveling to the US, few people remember that the US if the person visits Iran frequently (from what I could understand) that person needs of a special permit to enter the USA, barcelona as well as any team that was in that situation would not remember such a thing, so barcelona cannot be blamed. and on the financial issue of barcelona, in my opinion, if it will be resolved for them to win the champions league and la league frequently, only then they will attract more sponsors, there will be more companies wanting to advertise with them and for them to win the la league and champions league they need to have good players and to have good players they need to spend money on buying players

Regarding Xavi visa being revoked most likely impact of political problem, But don't worry Barcelona also have other plans with Sergio Alegre and Oscar Hernandez to manage the team, It's been said that they will be in charge of the training sessions in America, and Xavi is also likely to get privileges with special permission so I think everything will be fine.

This is some Absolute BS. What I don't understand is why someone visiting Iran can cause any problems when attempting to enter the United States. Despite always talking about equality and humanity, the United States is a country that opposes its own idea.

There's some hypocrisy going on in this dumb world. This is absolutely a silly reason why the Barcelona coach is not able to go to America. I have also heard that this is a problem because of his "passport issue". I think we all know what passport issue this is.

I have also read somewhere that this is happening because of some "administrative reasons". Apparently, the problem is that Xavi was the coach of Al-Saad before he had become the coach of Barcelona and he was also a player there. That is the main problem. Is the United States assuming he has suddenly become a terrorist?

[Pokapoka124]

it seems Madrid coach, Carlo Ancelotti is really happy with his present squad and looks like he's not going to sign any other player in this summer as he's confident with his signings. Rudiger and Tochouaméni will look to impress the Los Blancos boss next season. Even Hazard who just recover from injury still have big duties tag to him in the team and Ancelotti will give him a chance in the upcoming season. Let's see what Eden have to offer for the team especially now that Madrid have good new players.

Carlos Ancelotti looks satisfied with the current squad at his disposal at Real Madrid. The Real Madrid squad have good and talented players, this current team is so good that they can compete at any level in Europe even compete for the World cup if possible. Most of their players seem to be stepping into the peak of their careers and are doing so good. I can confidently bet on them and say they will conquer the La liga next season and go as far as the semi final in the Champions League next season.

[BIT-BENDER]

Barcelona has now got Torres, Aubameyang, Dembele, Ansu Fati, Raphina, Robert Lewandoski as their attacking options for next season, it’s been a while I have felt this sense on confidence on behalf of Barcelona, We few more signings in addition to the already secured players I believe Barcelona are back on track, and I am so excited about the rivalry that would now be between Lewandoski and Benzema. What an healthy competition.

This is honestly too much for Barcelona.
The good thing is they are bringing in Lewandowski now which in fact in this case a few hours ago I had doubts Barcelona would be able to bring in Lewandowski but I was wrong because indeed he could be at the Camp Nou soon.
But in this case it's actually still not a guarantee that they can be stronger now. I know and am very aware that indeed Lewandowski is a great player but his productivity has only been tested at Bayern and there could be two possibilities for his productivity in La Liga in the future.

Last season we saw a one-sided La Liga. No other team has contested the title other than Real Madrid. Throughout the season we have seen Madrid's domination. But Barcelona is very strong next season. But we don't know if they can perform consistently. I say this because, although Barcelona's forwards are strong now, the midfield and defense are not strong enough. Winning the title requires not only strong forwards, but a stable squad.

Real Madrid have an interest in signing Jude Bellingham from Dortmund now. This would be their biggest transfer in this summer without a doubt. Bellingham is a very talented young lad and I wonder if Dortmund are okay about losing him too after Erling Haaland. They are accustomed to selling this kind of players to big teams though but maybe this would be too much for them in the same transfer window. Real Madrid have signed Tchouameni already and they have Camavinga also. With this transfer they will increase the alternatives more.

[boris singer]

If he doesn't want to go as long as he has a contract, he won't go.  The final decision is definitely up to him and if Barcelona wants to sell him to Manchester United they don't have to abide by it.  If De Jong is out of the squad, it will be worse for Barcelona because they have to pay his salary and they can't get any benefit from him.  If De Jong wants to go, he will go, if he does not want to go, he will not go.

The problem at the moment is not far from the financial condition of Barcelona.
After having Raphinha and Lewandowski with a price that exceeds 100 million for these two players, it is clear that someone has to be sacrificed, I think and indeed one of the ones who can be sacrificed quite a bit at this time is De Jong, especially when Manchester United are still insisting on signing him.
At least with this they will find funds to cover all possibilities when something important happens regarding their finances.

Real Madrid always plans for the long term. And so they are keen to invest in young players. It will be a good decision for Real Madrid to sign Jude Bellingham. Jude Bellingham could be included as a replacement for Luka Modric. Only 19 years old, this youngster can stay with Real Madrid for a long time. Dortmund would certainly be interested in selling Jude Bellingham. Because Dortmund prioritizes earning money by selling players rather than good performance

I think it's really obvious and annoying that barceloan decided to go with "screw it!" situation and they are just ignoring everything. They will be punished eventually, if they are not doing anything themselves and they are still spending, that means they don't care about the consequences.

Either there will be some harsh consequences and it will hurt them a lot, or it will not be like that at all and we are going to end p with a big problem. All in all there isn't a situation where it is risky for the team to go on like this, it's impossible to do that. They need to figure out a way to at least sell some players to make some money back in order to continue.
