Barcelona chiefs including vice president Rafa Yuste and director of football Mateu Alemany have flown out to Doha to finalise a deal that will hopefully see Xavi return to the Camp Nou as coach, according to multiple reports.
It’s thought the Barca delegation will watch Xavi’s Al-Sadd team take on Al-Duhail on Wednesday and will then sit down with the Qatari side to try and find an agreement regarding Xavi.
The two Barca executives have already been snapped in conversation at Al-Sadd’s stadium with Xavi’s agents Arturo Canales and Fernando Solana.
Joan Laporta hasn’t made the trip despite some speculation that Al Sadd’s Sheikh owner Mohammed bin Al Thani viewed the Barcelona president’s presence in Qatar as being essential to doing a deal.
