Posted on November 5, 2021 at 8:00 p.m. by HG While Xavi's return to FC Barcelona would be imminent, the Catalan club would have arranged with Al-Sadd not to have to pay his release clause. The long-awaited moment is now about to intervene: Xavi will become the new coach of FC Barcelona . The Catalan management stepped up its work a few days ago in view of its arrival after the dismissal of Ronald Koeman and an agreement has now been found between the former midfielder and Barça for a contract that will link him to the Blaugrana until 2024. And new echoes are now shedding light on the circumstances of his departure of Al-Sadd … Indeed, the Qatar-based club has already formalized this Friday the departure of Xavi , but the whole question was how this operation had been settled insofar as the Spanish technician had a release clause set at 5 M €. But then, if we are to believe the information unveiled by MARCA this Friday evening, FC Barcelona will not disburse this sum. The two clubs are said to have finally arranged for the transaction to proceed as if it were a transfer. In doing so, Barça therefore avoids paying € 5 million directly and thus has the possibility of spreading the payment of this amount over time.
