The Catalan “Barcelona” midfielder Xavi Hernandez has confirmed that he will leave the club in the summer.
“I want to announce that I will leave Barcelona after the end of the season.” This decision was given to me with great difficulty. I am glad that I spent this season in “Barcelona”. Even then, it was difficult to make that decision.
I will continue my career in “Al Sadd”. The contract will be for two years with the option of extending it for another year.
I will also have the opportunity to try my hand at the role of coach and sports director. “Barcelona” recently offered me to extend the contract until 2018, but at that time I had already made a decision.
An interesting project awaits me in Qatar, but my main goal is to return to “Barcelona”, after all, this is my home.
As a coach, sports director, it is not important. I am very happy. In “Barcelona” I had such a career that one can only dream about. I will miss Leo, Andres, Pedro, Busi. they are all my friends, but life is like this,” 35-year-old Xavi said at the farewell press conference.
