The sheikh will ‘forgive’ five million euros for Xavi

Barcelona already knows through Al Sadd and Xavi himself that the figure for the clause to release Xavi is five million euros. This clause was signed in the last renewal, closed last June, and gave a twist to the Barça clause that Xavi had, by which he could go for free if the Blaugrana club came. The owner of Al Sadd asked Xavi for a gesture so that Al Sadd also had a voice and vote in case an offer came from Barcelona, ​​with the gentlemen’s agreement that he would release the coach.

The time has come, especially after the confirmation of the trip this morning to Doha by a delegation from FC Barcelona, led by the sports vice president, Rafa Yuste, and the football director, Mateu Alemany, to meet with the representatives of Al Sadd.

Nevertheless, Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad still maintains his position that if they want Xavi to go out for free, the best thing is for Joan Laporta to come in person to close the deal, as a gesture of respect and cordiality.

Hence, in Doha they still do not rule out that the Blaugrana president will make a lightning trip to Qatar in the next few hours to finish closing the operation. There is no doubt that now for five million it is well worth a little effort.
