Barça 'wins' Qatar: They take Xavi Hernández without paying the five million

Full stop to the serial with Xavi Hernández and the To the-Sadd. The one of Terrassa will turn into question of minutes or hours in the new trainer of the FC Barcelona, without having paid the clause liberatoria of five million euros that demanded the club catarí to leave leave to the technical director that has won seven titles for the team in the last years. Xavi, right now, is smart to assume the reins of the bench barcelonista.

The reality is that no longer there is gone back backwards. After several days of negotiations, has arrived to an agreement with the To the-Sadd in which the Barça comes off well by double game and that will give beginning to a different and full stage of optimism for the Barcelona, with Xavi Hernández like leader and leading. Only it does fault the official communiqué from the Camp Nou to begin the 'celebration', but already is all smart.

The emissaries of the Barça in Doha, Catar, the vice-president Rafa Yuste and the director of football Mateu Alemany, with Xavi Hernández in command of the negotiations, 'convinced' to the cataríes and no longer will be necessary to pay the clause. It is enclosed and the last informations aim to that from the Barcelona club right now are finishing to draft the agreements so that Xavi can sign it in brief and begin his functions during the stop FIFA.

'Resolved' the problem with the Fair Play

It fits to remember that the reason by which had braked the agreement between the To the-Sadd, Barça and Xavi Hernández was the subject of the clause. The club catarí informed early that the Barcelona had paid it, but shortly after denied . And it is that these five millions 'descuadraban' the accounts of the culés to inscribe to the of Terrassa in LaLiga respecting the limit salarial and the economic controls of LaLiga. Without this, the way already is traced.

Now, only it remains the signature of the agreements and the inclusion of Xavi and his technical body in the team culé, putting him end to a serial that lasted more than a week but that always had a clear-cut end: the return of Hernández to the Camp Nou, six years afterwards, to look for rescue to a team that lost his identity and that left to be the 'big' in which he triumphed like footballer.
