The news comes after Barcelona were on the receiving end of a 5-3 loss at home to Villarreal.
Speaking after the game, Xavi said: “I will leave Barcelona in June”.
“We have reached a point of no return. It’s time for change.
“As a Culé, I think that it’s time to leave. I spoke with the board and the club today. I will leave on the 30th of June”.
Barcelona have struggled for form all season and have three of their last five games in all competitions.
Xavi’s contract was due to expire at the end of the season, but the announcement takes the potential of staying on any longer off the table.
