The reasons why Xavi's arrival in Barcelona would fall

At FC Barcelona they are so stubborn about the idea of Xavi Hernández being the new coach of the first team that a delegation has traveled to Qatar to negotiate the signing of the Spanish coach. With Rafa Yuste and Mateu Alemany as representatives of the Catalan institution, the culés arrived to talk with the high command of Al-Sadd.

Unfortunately, the directors of the Barcelona team have encountered the outright refusal of the Qataris to let their strategist go, at least until the end of the season. At the beginning, the QSL club gave him a friendly Barça welcome, but then they made their position clear: they will not release Xavi Hernández amicably, so the Catalan Barça club will have no choice but to pay a termination clause by Terrasa.

“Al Sadd welcomes the visit of the FC Barcelona delegation. We appreciate and respect the entire expedition ”, said the Qatari club in the first lines of a tweet on the official account. "The position of the club from the beginning is clear: they want to keep their coach, Xavi Hernández, and they will not let him out this season", he added.

Thus, Al Sadd once again shows that it is not up to the task of letting go of the coach who has given him many joys since his arrival in 2015. First as a player and then from the bench. From the beginning, the Qataris stymied the negotiations.

In fact, one of the first conditions of the owners of Al-Sadd was that President Joan Laporta himself be in charge of the negotiations in Qatar. The Catalan lawyer also had to attend to other matters in Spain and decided not to travel to Doha.
