Xavi goes back to Barcelona from Doha
In order to allow Xavi to exit his current contract with Al-Sadd, Barcelona will have to pay five million euros, according to reports. The traditional Spanish club is currently plagued by a sporting crisis. Since the departure of superstar Lionel Messi, things have stopped working, and the Blaugrana are only ninth in the championship. Al-Saad announced that Xavi had informed the club a few days ago that he wanted to return to Barcelona “because of the critical phase his home club is going through”. Don’t stand in the way.
