"Frenkie de Jong is a very important player for me and for the club," Xavi said in his press conference for the Rayo Vallecano game.
"He has to mark an era, I'm very happy with him and he must continue to be a leading player.
"If it were up to me he'll continue for many years at Barca," the tactician added.
It's the first time Xavi is speaking publicly about Frenkie since rumours about Manchester United wanting him hit the internet.
The midfielder has a contract with Barcelona until the summer of 2026.
