The statement read, “Turki Al-Ali: The #AlSadd administration has agreed on Xavi’s move to Barcelona after the payment of the release clause stipulated in the contract.

“Xavi informed us a few days ago that he wanted to go to Barcelona at this moment because of the critical stage his hometown club is in, and we understood and chose not to stand in his way.”

“Xavi and his family are welcome to stay in Doha, and our friendship will continue.”

Barcelona sacked manager Ronald Koeman in October and are now in ninth place in La Liga.
