However, the Qatari giants, with whom he’s manager, have responded with a tweet confirming that Xavi’s two-year contract remains unfulfilled.
According to Marca, Al-Sadd believe Barcelona have treated Xavi’s homecoming as a “done thing”.

So, all this is why they are dissatisfied with the way the Blaugrana have handled the situation.
Xavi has led Al-Sadd to 62 victories in 90 games as manager. The team currently sits atop the Qatar Stars League table after having secured eight wins from eight games this season.
