Barcelona footballer Xavi has reportedly hinted that he may quit his current club.

Xavi, who is a product of Barcelona's La Masia youth setup, has spent his whole career with the Catalan club and his comments come weeks after Manchester United was linked with an ambitious move for the ‘pass-master’.

According to Metro.co.uk, Xavi hinted that he might consider leaving Barcelona as it is difficult to finish one's career at the Spanish club. Xavi is contracted to Barcelona until 2016, the report added.
