Already it has produced the first formal contact between both parts, as it advanced the newspaper 'Ace'. To the-Sadd and FC Barcelona gathered telematic road. However, this formal contact only has served so that the Barcelona club receive a clear message by part of the entity qatarí: "If you want to close the operation of Xavi of friendly form and without that there is any problem have to come to Doha".
That was the clear message that transmitted him to the Barcelona club, with a small nuance at the end: "The sheik wants a deal of equal with the Barcelona, does not want to negotiate with seconds, wants to Laporta". Like this then , Laporta will have to clear his tightened diary: this Monday has foreseen to leave with the expedition culé to Kiev, to find a gap to displace to Doha.
Therefore, everything seems to aim that the trip will formalise the Thursday after the team play against the To the Duhail, a transcendental split that it can be fundamental to revalidate the QSL, due to the fact that to achieve the victory, the To the-Sadd him aventajaría six points to his perseguidor nearer.
Obviously, Laporta would not travel alone. Surely, the president of the entity culé will go accompanied by the flat sportive elder of the club, headed by the vice-president Rafa Yuste and the director of football, Mateu Alemany. This last is the one who has carried all the weight of the negotiations with Xavi.
Requirements of the sheik
Mohammed bin Hamad, sheik of the To the-Sadd, wants a meeting with Joan Laporta like previous step to the 'ok' to the exit of Xavi. The technician closed the past Friday the agreement with the qataríes, especially, regarding the clause liberatoria, very upper to the million of euros that has published in some means, but con the condition 'sine qua non' that the Barcelona has to go to Doha like gesture of respect and formality between clubs.
Like this then , the Barcelona club already has put hands to the work: looking for date and hour to travel to Doha and gather with the sheik. Once concluded the meeting, that could finish with the signature of a friendly in the next two years in Doha like compensation to the elimination of the clause, the expedition of the FC Barcelona would return,
Nevertheless, still it is not clear the day in that Xavi arrive to the team: it could finish demorando his landing to Barcelona some days more, at most until the Sunday of this week. Therefore, it will be fundamental not diverting the attention of the important commitment of LaLiga, that plays the team culé the Saturday in Celtic Vigo.
