Al-Sadd boss Xavi has urged his current club to allow him to leave and take over as Barcelona manager.
Barcelona executives were in Doha on Wednesday to meet with Al-Sadd officials over Xavi, who has been identified as Barca's top choice to take over after Ronald Koeman was sacked.
WhileAl-Sadd released a statement saying they aimed to keep Xavi, the 41-year-old has now expressed his desire to "go home" to the club where he starred as a player for 17 seasons.
What was said?
"I've been talking to Barca for days, it's done," Xavi said after Al-Sadd drew Al-Duhail 3-3 in a Qatar Stars League match on Wednesday.
