While the name of Xavi circulates with insistence to take place on the Catalan bench, Joan Laporta has already planned behind the scenes the arrival of the legend of the Blaugrana. And in order not to pay compensation of around 1M € to snatch Xavi from Al-Sadd, Joan Laporta would have found an arrangement with the Qatari club. Everything seems to be accelerating at FC Barcelona . After the ouster of Ronald Koeman after the defeat against Rayo Vallecano (1-0), Xavi is announced with insistence on the side of the club culé. Indeed, according to the information of the journalist Fabrizio Romano unveiled on the BenchWarners site, the return of the Spanish legend would be “very close”. Barça would therefore only seek to make arrangements with the club currently coached by Xavi , Al-Sadd .

And the Catalan president could well reach the goal … According to information from the daily AS, Xavi would have made an agreement with Al-Sadd . The Spaniard is still expected to coach the Qatari club for the next two games. Indeed, the leaders of Al-Sadd would like to keep Xavi before the truce that will know the championship of Qatar for a month and a half. The Catalan is also said to have made arrangements with the Qatari club so that they waive the € 1m severance pay that was required in Xavi 's contract. In this regard, Al-Sadd would like to be rewarded for this gesture and would ask for a friendly match within two years against Barça in Doha . On the side of Barcelona , the club culé would already be organized to welcome Xavi … According to AS, the signing of Xavi could be formalized from November 4 by FC Barcelona . It is on this date that the Barcelona legend should be released from his contract by Al-Sadd . While awaiting the arrival of the former Barça player, Sergi Barjuan should still take over Tuesday against Dynamo Kiev in Champions League , but also the following Saturday in Liga against Celta Vigo . The leaders of Barça would expect to present Xavi on Sunday, November 7 or at the latest, the next day.
