Xavi concluded his answer by adding: "I wish that he can come back to help us. According to El Confidencial, however, Xavi has been angered by public talk of an approach for Messi and believes that the best way for the club's higher ups to help his team win titles is to refrain from talking about the Argentine and any other potential signings until the end of the season. "I talk to him often, but now is not the time for the benefit of everyone: for the player himself, for the club, for the current squad ..." We are in contact with them, yes," Yuste said. Yet if Xavi really is irritated by the events of the last couple of days, he is not far off the mark to insist that the Blaugrana focuses on securing the domestic treble before revealing behind-the-scenes secrets and thinking out loud. "It is not time to talk about Leo's return."
