A certain star has claimed that he won't return to FC Barcelona as long as the manager Xavi Hernandez is still at the helm.
Pressure is mounting on the Barca boss, as the team have dropped to eight points behind LALIGA log-leaders Girona, moving down to fourth on the table.
An embarrassing 4-1 defeat to rivals Real Madrid in the Spanish Supercup final on Sunday has led to further speculation about the tactician's future at the club, despite the winning the league and the aforementioned trophy last season.

One player who would seemingly have no problem seeing Xavi part ways with the clun is Sergino Dest. The full-back is currently out on loan in the Netherlands with PSV Eindhoven and speaking during a recent interview, he said he won't be return to the Camp Nou while Xavi is still in charge.
Speaking to Voetbal International, Dest opened up about his fractured relationship with the 43-year-old coach: "I had a false start with him.
"At first he didn't like me. Then in training I showed it, I was really good, defensively and offensively. Then he saw it in me and I started playing too. And eventually I got injured at Galatasaray away. I received things that were positive for me," says Dest.
"But after the holidays they were completely reversed. That was a pity. Things were said that were not fair. And based on nothing. Then I knew it would be difficult for me at Barcelona."
Asked if he would stay at PSV or return to Barca, the United States international said:"I think that Barcelona, ??PSV and I have something to say about that. And right now it's too early to talk about that.
"Xavi is still there now. So at the moment no, that will be too difficult. First become champions with PSV, then we'll see what happens next."
