Al Sadd after Xavi’s Departure, Barcelona’s Wait Is over One Step Away

DBasia.news – Al-Sadd via his social media confirmed the release of the coach, Xavi Hernandez, to Barcelona. Previously, negotiations between the two camps had been tough.

Barcelona are looking for a new coach after kicking Ronald Koeman. The Dutch tactician left in the last season of his contract. Bad results at the start of this season are believed to be the cause.

Barca immediately held communication with Xavi, who was previously predicted to be a coach. In fact, Joan Laporta confirmed starting the conversation while Koeman was still behind the wheel.

However, Barcelona’s move is not easy. Because, Al-Sadd as the owner does not want to lose Xavi. Understandably, Xavi is a coach who brought a number of success.

As a result, Barcelona also appointed Sergi Barjuan as interim coach. At the same time, Barca continued to hold meetings with Al-Sadd.

Finally, Barcelona’s wait is over. Al-Sadd confirmed that he would let Xavi return to Barcelona. Los Cules are expected to pay a sum of money as a replacement for Xavi’s contract.

“The Al-Sadd Administration has approved the transfer of Xavi to Barcelona following the payment of the release clause found in the contract,” Al-Sadd wrote in a statement.

“We have agreed to cooperate with Barcelona in the future. Xavi is an important part of Al-Sadd’s history and we wish him success,” added Al-Sadd.

Xavi’s job at Barcelona will not be easy. Currently, Barca are struggling in LaLiga and the Champions League. In addition, Barca are also facing financial problems.
