A source close to the Major League Soccer has denied the speculations that the Barcelona superstar Xavi is going to make his way to USA at some point of time this year.

There have been a lot of talks in America in the last 10 days or so regarding the arrival of Xavi. These talks started when the news got flashed that Xavi’s agent is going to attend the MLS combine.

But, according to that source, MLS has actually invited the agents of various Spanish and other players for the combine so that the league becomes popular all over the world. It’s not that Xavi’s agent has received a specific invitation.

Talking to the reporters, that source said, “The agents of a large number of top quality Spanish players have come here, but, not with the purpose of interacting with a particular club. They are just here to attend the combine.”

The popularity of Major League Soccer has definitely increased in the recent times, but, it is still not as popular as some of the other football leagues going around. Organizing the MLS Combine is believed to be a step taken to make the league more known around the globe.

Quite a few big names have played in MLS in the last few years. One of those names is Thierry Henry and it’s him who was reported to be trying to convince Xavi to make a move to USA.

Xavi who is a veteran now has spent his entire career playing in Spain, but, because of the fact that he is getting towards the end of his career now, he might not get a long contract extension at his current club Barca and that might force him to consider a move to other countries.
