The return of the former midfielder to Catalonia would therefore be inevitable. After deciding to fire Ronald Koeman following the new defeat of FC Barcelona in La Liga against Rayo Vallecano (1-0), Joan Laporta is looking for a trainer, and one name comes up with urgency, that of Xavi. Currently at the head of Al-Sadd , the former Barça player indeed seems very close to the club, although the president Laporta did not want to add more details on Friday. “We are working to bring in a trainer. I'm not going to say anything about the options we have. It wouldn't be professional. I don't want to harm anything, the FC Barcelona boss told the media. I have always said that Xavi will coach Barca one day. This is a priority goal in his life. I accustomed myself to the people around me who are following his progress to see if he is the right trainer. Xavi is a person who lives for football, he is from Barça. We will see how it will evolve. However, there would be no further doubt about the outcome of this soap opera. This Friday evening, the daily Sport announces that everything is complete so that the return of Xavi to FC Barcelona can become reality. The Spaniard met with his leaders during the day to work out the final details for his departure. The Qatari owners of Al-Sadd have asked Xavi to remain in his post for the club's next two Championship games, which are decisive for the title. No announcement should therefore be made before November 4, but the departure of Xavi is indeed recorded internally and the players would have already been informed. The former glory of Barça had a verbal agreement with his leaders to be able to leave without paying his clause of one million euros in case the Catalan team came knocking on the door. So, Xavi will land on the Camp Nou side for free next week.
