Calendar of FC Barcelona

Xavi Hernández is more near that never to turn into new trainer of the FC Barcelona. The one of Terrassa, if it does not happen at all, will be able to desvincularse of the To the-Sadd in the next hours to go back to his house at last. The plan of the Barça is to announce the signing of the egarense this same Friday, a day before the meeting against the Celtic of Vigo. Nevertheless, the Catalan will not direct to the team against the Galicians and Sergi Barjuan will seat in the bench.

If at all twist , along this next 5 November the group barcelonista will announce amid a lot of hype that one of the greater legends of his history will be the substitute of Ronald Koeman. The Dutch was ceased the past week and since has been Sergi, technician of the filial, the one who has done charge of the staff. From the Sunday, the one of Them Franqueses will go back to the B and Xavi will take the reins of the first team.

This Thursday, of form very private, Mateu Alemany and Rafa Yuste, director of football and sportive vice-president culés, respectively, have gone on speaking with the To the-Sadd so that they leave to go out to the Catalan. Although still there would be an enclosed agreement, the negotiations would go by very good way and the "himself" of the qatarís could be more near that never. Along the Friday, if it does not happen at all, everything will be cleared and will be able to be official.

These new informations do not confirm if Xavi has had something that see in this approach between both entities. As it explained , this Thursday the ex midfield player went to gather with the sheik Mohammed bin Khalifa To the Thani, that is the owner of the group of Doha. The intention of the still technician of the picture of Qatar will be that the sheik gave his "ok" to free him of the agreement that has signed until 2023 of free form.

The relation between both always has been very good and in his moment To the Thani in person promised him to the ex footballer that if it arrived the Barça would not put peros to his exit. The idea was to approach postures by means of this summit, although the true is that right now it does not know if it has taken place or no. What yes is confirmed by several means is that the feelings are very positive and that trusts can close it morning.

The To the-Sadd bothered by the absence of Laporta

One of the greater obstacles to the operation up to now was that Joan Laporta had not attended to Qatar to negotiate by Xavi. The sheik, as it showed with the signing fallido of Kylian Mbappé by the Real Madrid, is a very proud person and did not tolerate at all well that 'Jan' did not travel for fichar 'in situ' to the míster. Luckily, it seems that everything is very directed at last and that the arrival of the egarense is question of hours.
