All the roads already lead Xavi Hernández to FC Barcelona. The agreement between the Barça idol and the president of the club Joan Laporta seems to be closed, but now the main problem will be to balance times. At the Camp Nou they want him immediately, but the coach does not want to leave Al Sadd right off the bat, a club that gave him the opportunity to debut and start his adventure as a coach.

The first step for Barcelona will be to close the termination of Xavi's contract, who since he signed his last renewal this year, has a one million euro clause. However, he also has the promise of the owner of the Qatari club that they will not hinder him in the event that they call from the Camp Nou.

According to information from the newspaper ‘Sport’, although the deal seems imminent, not so much the arrival of the new technician. Xavi Hernández would have planned to stay in Qatar for the next two games and take over the Barça bench after the national team break.

Football director Mateu Alemany and sports vice president Rafa Yuste have traveled to Qatar to negotiate Xavi's separation from Al Sadd. Negotiations in which they will try to accelerate the arrival of the coach to Barça, although the calendar of the Qatari team makes it difficult.

The team coached by Xavi has two league commitments in the coming days: on Saturday, October 30, against Al-Ahli and on Wednesday, November 3, against Al-Duhail, their main competitor in the league. Something that complicates the Barça will that Xavi sit on the bench against Dinamo next Tuesday, November 2. If so, there is a great possibility that Xavi will arrive at Barcelona just the next day, and will be presented immediately, in command of the first team.
