The Barca legend and World Cup-winning midfielder is believed to be close to sealing a move to Qatari side Al Sadd, according to ESPN.

Since making his debut in 1998, Xavi has become a pivotal component in Barcelona’s magnificent generation and the most successful period in the club’s history.

He was won seven La Liga titles, three Champions League crowns and numerous other domestic honours during his time at the Nou Camp.

For La Roja, he has lifted the European Championship twice—either side of the nation’s maiden World Cup victory in 2010.
