Xavi confirmed that he had a meeting with Eric Abidal, but did not want to comment on the reports about whether he would return to "Barcelona". In the Spanish media, there are currently rumors that Ernesto Valverde is counting his last hours at Barça. The club wants to invite a recently started Catalan coach to take his place. Last night, Xavi's team "Al Sadd" reached the final of the Qatar Cup by defeating the "Al Rayyan" team. After the match, Xavi said he is focused on his current team but admitted that coaching Barcelona would be his dream. "I have always said that my dream is to coach Barcelona," said the Spanish football legend. "I have supported this team throughout my life, and it holds a special place in my heart." "However, I am now focused on Al Sadd and cannot comment on speculations. I met with Abidal because he is my friend. I cannot talk about what is happening at Barça because I respect the club and Ernesto Valverde," added the strategist. The latest reports indicate that Barcelona officials will have another meeting with Xavi tonight, offering him a 2.5-year contract. Meanwhile, E. Valverde has not been warned that negotiations with Xavi are taking place behind his back.
