Qatar's Al-Sadd is clearing the way for Xavi Hernandez to become Barcelona's head coach.
Barcelona declined to comment on Spanish media reports that said Xavi's buyout clause is 5 million euros .
The 41-year-old Xavi left Barcelona in 2015 after helping the club win 25 titles, including four Champions Leagues and eight Spanish leagues in 17 seasons. He was also key to Spain's streak of titles when it won the 2010 World Cup and European Championships in 2008 and 2012.Xavi's vision, passing and ability to maintain the ball under pressure made him critical to leading both Barcelona and Spain's national team to their most successful eras.
The team's depleted finances have stripped it of former teammate Lionel Messi and other top players like Antoine Griezmann and Luis Suarez.
