The possibility of Xavi Hernández leaving Al-Sadd and heading to Barcelona seems increasingly real. After meeting with Rafa Yuste and Mateu Alemany, Barcelona’s managers, the coach will have everything set up to head to the Catalan team.
Mohammed bin Hamad, owner of the Qatari club, will meet with Xavi today, in order to understand the mechanisms that will involve the business, with the former Spanish international presenting the proposal that will have been closed at an informal dinner with the officials of the Barcelona.
Xavi’s departure becomes even more inevitable after yesterday, in the 3-3 draw with Al Duhail (team coached by Portuguese Luís Castro), the players emotionally dedicating the first goal of the match to him. Al-Sadd currently occupies the first position in the championship, with three points more than Luís Castro’s team.
After the meeting, several members of the squad turned to social media to say goodbye to the coach, with player Hassan admitting to the press that he feels sad about Xavi’s departure. Midfielder Tabata also left a publication with a photo of the coach with the comment “Thank you Xavi”, which shows that the coach’s return to the blaugrana it may be very close to the final outcome.
