While it was reported that Joan Laporta was not in favor of appointing Xavi as coach right now, that is said to be changing.

Time to Ronald Koeman on the bench of FC Barcelona seems to be counted. The Dutch coach has indeed been under fire from criticism for a few days because of the apathetic trip displayed by his team who achieved a new underperformance on the lawn of Cádiz CF this Thursday evening (0-0). What is more, the relationship between the former coach of the Netherlands and the board of Barça would be broken to the extent that the two sides entered a media war.

If this happens, it will now have to be dislodged fromAl-Sadd, and this while the clause Barça which was present in his contract no longer exists since his last extension.

This clause would also be reserved for Blaugrana, in the sense that only they can use it. Another club should therefore negotiate with the Qatar club. the FC Barcelona will not have this problem, but now remains to be seen if Xavi will be open to the idea of ​​returning now to his long-standing team. As for the entourage of the Spanish technician, he believes that relations with Al-Sadd are good enough for the club not to hamper their eventual return to Catalonia. To be continued …
