(ANSA) – ROME, NOVEMBER 05 – Xavi Hernandez will pay half of his release clause to Al Sadd, about 2.5 million euros, in order to go to coach Barcelona. This was reported by the website of the sports newspaper Marca, confirming a news reported by the Mundo Deportivo. The former blaugrana midfielder will recover the money by acting as an ‘ambassador of Qatar’, making himself the protagonist of promotional events up to the figure of 2.5 million. The other half of the release clause will be paid by Barcelona, which is going through a serious situation of economic difficulty. The announcement of Xavi’s signing by the Laporta club is expected today, according to Mundo Deportivo.
Meanwhile, Xavi greeted his former players of the Qatari club with a lunch, which he had coached from the 2019-2020 season and left in the lead in the national championship. Between hugs and handshakes, there was no lack of tears.
Sources of Barcelona in the early afternoon had made it known to Mundo Deportivo that the announcement of the Al Sadd club regarding the agreement reached to free Xavi would have been a way to put pressure on the Catalan club to pay the release clause that linked the technician to the Qatari club until 2023.
