Barcelona, Spain (My Sportsbook) - Barcelona midfielder Xavi has confirmed that he has agreed a new contract that will see him play out the rest of his career at the Camp Nou. The 28-year-old Spain international had been linked with a move away from Barca in recent weeks, but he is now poised to pen a deal running until the summer of 2014 with the Catalan giants. He told El Mundo Deportivo: "The president [Joan Laporta] has given me his word and I have given him mine and, if all goes well, we will sign the contract next week. "It will be until 2014, when I will be 34. "I hope to retire at Barca, but at the time I feel I cannot be useful to the club I will go, because I have had the fortune to play for the club I love."
