Eager to afford the services of Xavi to replace Ronald Koeman, Joan Laporta would be ready to put his hand in his pocket to achieve his ends. Indeed, the president of Barça would be willing to pay the release clause to 5M € of the Spanish technician to complete this file this Friday.
After yet another defeat this season against Rayo Vallecano, Ronald Koeman was dismissed by Joan Laporta. To make up for the departure of his Dutch coach, the president of FC Barcelona would like to bet on Xavi at all costs. With this in mind, Joan Laporta would have sent Rafa Yuste and Mateu Alemany in Doha so that they negotiate with Al-Sadd, the club trained by the Spanish coach. However, the Qatari leadership would not want to sit on the 5M € of the release clause of Xavi.

As Mundo Deportivo recalled, Xavi would have a release clause of 5M €. And while Rafa Yuste and Mateu Alemany would try to negotiate the signing of the Spaniard without having to pay this sum, Joan Laporta would have set himself an ultimatum. According to sources at FC Barcelona, the Catalan president is determined to complete the Xavi file this Friday. And to meet this deadline, Joan Laporta would be ready to pay the release clause of Xavi if the negotiations with the management of Al-Sadd do have not progressed by then.
