Having picked up the award for the best player at Euro 2008, Xavi's form shows no signs of abating as he continues to be one of Barca's most valuable players this season.
According to the Daily Mail, Liverpool and Arsenal harbour dreams of signing the Barca midfielder. A seemingly unlikely proposition at first, their interest is based on the reported disagreements arising in Xavi's current contract negotiations with Barca.
Xavi, whose current contract expires in 2010, is said to be less than satisfied with the latest terms offered by the club. An identified person close to Xavi is reported to have claimed that Barca's attitude during negotiations is "arrogant".
At the end of the day, however, Xavi and Barca are made for each other, and a deal between the two will surely eventuate. While his latest stellar performance against Malaga will interest the English further, it will also strengthen Barca's desire to keep the man from Terrassa, thus reducing Liverpool and Arsenal's efforts to remaining as mere dreams.
