Xavi: 'It would be great to see Kylian Mbappe, Erling Braut Haaland in La Liga'

Barcelona boss Xavi has said that "it would be great" to see Kylian Mbappe and Erling Braut Haaland playing in Spain's top flight next season.

Mbappe's contract at Paris Saint-Germain is set to expire at the end of June, and Real Madrid are expected to sign the France international on a free transfer.

Haaland, meanwhile, will have a £67m release clause in his Borussia Dortmund deal this summer, and both Los Blancos and Barcelona are said to be in the mix for his signature.

Xavi has recently addressed suggestions that he met with the Norway international last week to discuss a possible switch to Camp Nou.

The Barcelona boss has called the duo "two great footballers" and has said that it would be a huge "positive" for La Liga if both players made the move to Spain ahead of the 2022-23 campaign.

"Mbappe and Haaland are two great footballers. It would be great to have them in La Liga, the league and the clubs they go to will get better. They will bring more fans to the stadium and it will be surely positive," Xavi told reporters.

Barcelona have reportedly already accepted that Mbappe will be heading for Real Madrid, with PSG expected to fail in their attempts to keep hold of the France international.
