Diario Sport reports that Barcelona have shortlisted four candidates to succeed Xavi after he resigned at the end of the season.
Candidates include Roberto de Zerbi and Julian Nagelsmann with Hansi Flick and Thomas Tuchel. A final decision is expected in late March.
All four managers are interested in taking over at Barca despite problems with Italy. Brighton do not intend to let him go unless the Catalans offer 15 million something they are clearly not prepared to do.
Deco and Joan Laporta will make a joint decision with the Portuguese determined to meet the candidates soon to interview them.
