Barcelona sporting director Jordi Cruyff is attracting interest from Premier League sides as he considers his future at the club.
The 49-year-old has proved a hugely influential figure for Barcelona coach Xavi working under the financial restrictions imposed by La Liga.
It has required a lot of creative thinking between the two with Xavi often using the former Manchester United winger as a sounding board not only for targets in recruitment but how to utilise some of his squad members.
Indeed, Xavi was quick to heap praise upon Jordi recently after taking his advice on playing Eric Garcia, the former Manchester City centre back, in a holding midfield role against Elche with league leaders Barca running out 4-0 winners.
However, there is concern around the Nou Camp that Jordi is ready to move on at the end of this season.
His contract runs out in the summer and he has yet to indicate whether he will continue working with the Spanish champions elect.
His work has not gone unnoticed in England and a number of clubs are keeping an eye on developments between Jordi and the Barca board.
Jordi has previously worked as a sporting director at Larnaca in Cyprus and Maccabi Tel Aviv in Israel and is constantly open to testing himself with new challenges in his career.
He will always have a special bond with Barcelona as the club where he started out, and one where his father Johan had such a huge impact. But his work there has impressed clubs across Europe and Barca anticipate he will receive a number of offers to consider as the season draws to a close.

coward shut up and go hustle. Gavi is making name for himself and his family, what did you achieve at his current age?? u not ashame to talk trash 🗑️ about your sister second son. go borrow sense first
Yo son, It seems English isn’t your problem, comprehension is your problem, before you write anything on any social media platform, ask yourself if your messed up reply has any connection with what you write on. And secondly, this is not about gavi putting his name and family’s name on the map, it is about his rough style of play. Pls next time try have some sense(I won’t use any foul words on you son).

God bless you for this! Was having the same thought not long Kounde Raphinha Feran Torres Sergi Roberto Should also leave While Gavi seats in bench to watch other good players play and stops playing rough football all in the name of “I LOVE BARCELONA” and he is getting yellow cards almost every match😓

Dude check the league status. Top position in league , 2 nd in total team goals, and less goals conceded (9). Won 1 trophy and definitely will win the league. More impossible gave youngsters like balde, gavi more chances. Xavi impacted barcelona so well in given time.
