The former player was coy in sharing any detail about the meeting after meeting FC Barcelona sports director Eric Abidal and club executive director Óscar Grau to negotiate a potential move to the Camp Nou bench.
“There is no offer from Barça, I met up with Eric Abidal as he is a friend of mine and as a mark of respect for Bracelona and Ernesto Valverde, there’s nothing I can say about the club”.
Barça dream
At some point, Xavi referred to taking over at Camp Nou, with the 39-year-old repeating in the past his desire to run the club where he made a name for himself, adding:
“Everyone knows that coaching Barça is a dream, but at present I’m the Al Sadd head coach and that is my main focus at present”.
