“The script has worked out perfectly”—these were the words that Xavi Hernandez spoke when he announced his retirement from FC Barcelona as an iconic player. That is not the case, though, since his return as the head coach. After a rocky journey, Xavi shockingly announced he would be departing his beloved childhood club. As he will be stepping down from the managerial hot seat, let’s take a moment and have a look at his lesser-known pay at Barcelona and, more importantly, his net worth in 2024 as the Blaugrana boss.

What is the net worth of Xavi? 

Thanks to his early playing days at Camp Nou along with a remarkable soccer career, Xavi has managed to build a decent financial empire. Even as a coach, he didn’t fall short of fattening his wallet. As per Celebrity Net Worth, Xavi has a net worth of $40 million. Throughout the years he spent between 1998 and 2015 at Barcelona as a player, his salary ranged from $8.1 million to $14.5 million. Even after he moved to Qatar in 2015 to play for Doha-based club Al-Sadd, he received a compensation of $11 million. However, soccer wasn’t his only stream of income.  

Thanks to his endorsements, Xavi was able to give his net worth a major boost. The 4x UEFA Champions League winner has a long-term sponsorship arrangement with Adidas and has even collaborated with the likes of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, and Robin Van Persie in various commercials as a player. He also acts as the brand ambassador for Audi’s subsidiary in Qatar. Xavi has appeared frequently in FIFA games throughout the years and was one of the key names in FIFA’s “11 against Ebola” campaign, along with several other top soccer players. Let’s further dive deeper into how much he earns as his yearly pay at the Catalan club.
