Barcelona boss Xavi Hernandez is expecting the club to make key moves this week to prepare adequately for the summer window.

After LaLiga finally approved Barcelona's financial plans for next season, the feeling is that several moves will fall into place imminently.

A 'viability plan' was presented to LaLiga by club president Joan Laporta in the hope of proving their ability to get spending back under control and the Blaugrana's cause has been strengthened by the departures of Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba.

Xavi is expecting the club to move swiftly and after Sunday's final-day defeat to Celta Vigo, shed some light on the club's plans. 

"We have had a great season and we have to reinforce ourselves to fight for all the titles and compete especially in Europe.

"There we must take a step forward and we need two players per position. But we have gotten a lot out of this squad," he said.

"This week is already decisive to know the real scenario that we can sign and strengthen ourselves, we must strengthen ourselves to compete in Europe."

Barca enjoyed a fruitful domestic campaign, wrestling LaLiga back from Real Madrid but must do better in the Champions League next season.
