Xavi set to leave Barca for Al Sadd, says father

The midfield ace will bring his Barcelona career to an end and join Al Sadd, according to his father.

Barcelona captain Xavi is to join Qatari side Al Sadd, his father has claimed.

Xavi will hold a media conference on Thursday, where it is expected he will announce his Camp Nou departure upon the expiry of his current deal in June.

The 35-year-old veteran has been heavily linked with Al Sadd in recent months, with a three-year deal said to be worth approximately 10 million euros a season reported to be on the table.
