Gerard Pique and 2 other Barcelona stars not part of Xavi s plans Reports

By Matthew Guyett Modified 06 Sep 2022 Follow Us 1 Comment Share Pique among Barca trio that are surplus to requirements Barcelona defender Gerard Pique, midfielder Miralem Pjanic and forward Memphis Depay do not feature in Xavi Hernandez's plans, as per Sport. The trio's futures have been under speculation throughout the summer with Xavi overseeing a massive rebuild at the Nou Camp. All three are yet to play any minutes for Barca with the competition for places in the side having increased dramatically. The trio have spent all of Barca's fixtures on the substitutes bench and are yet to be called upon by Xavi. Pique has fallen way down the pecking order at the Nou Camp, having been the squad leader last season. The veteran Spaniard is now behind the likes of Ronald Araujo, Jules Kounde, Eric Garcia and Andreas Christensen.

A move to Saudi Arabia has been touted for the Bosnian midfielder, who spent last season on loan at Turkish side Besiktas. A number of midfielders are vying for a berth in Xavi's side, including Gavi, Pedri, Frenkie de Jong, Franck Kessie and Sergio Busquets. Memphis Depay@MemphisI have decided to stay at Barça !

However, a proposed transfer to the Serie A side broke down and he has remained at Barcelona. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's departure to Chelsea on transfer deadline day has given Depay hope of opportunities this season.

Barcelona manager Xavi spoilt for choice

Xavi has a phenomenal squad at his disposal Barcelona's blockbuster summer transfer window has given Xavi real strength in depth to a side that was already impressive under his tutelage. The signing of Robert Lewandowski has completely transformed the Blaugrana's attack with the Pole hitting the ground running. Raphinha's arrival on the wing has added to the tricky Ousmane Dembele whilst Xavi still has the likes of Ferran Torres and Depay to call on. The midfield is loaded with so many different profiles for Xavi to choose from, such as the visionary talents of Pedri and De Jong or the tenacious Kessie.

Right-back Hector Bellerin joined from Arsenal and will rival Araujo who has been filling in the role. It is clear that Barcelona will mean business this season both domestically and in Europe, having done business in the transfer market. They have spent an astounding £137.7 million (€159.8 million) on signings.
