Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi is the early favourite to replace Xavi at Barcelona.
Following Barcelona's 5-3 defeat to Villarreal on Saturday, Xavi revealed that he will be leaving the club at the end of the season.
De Zerbi has won many admirers for his work as Brighton manager and has also been linked with the Liverpool job following Jurgen Klopp's decision to depart at the conclusion of the campaign.
The Sun previously reported that De Zerbi is the leading contender to be the next Barcelona manager.
