'AS': Xavi postpones his decision

Xavi and Barcelona will not reach an agreement on Sunday. What seemed to be the signing of the contract between the pair on Sunday will not be in the end, according to the aforementioned source.

The Al Sadd manager has decided to postpone his decision for a few days, whether to accept the offer to become manager immediately or wait until the end of the season.

Xavi understands that he needs more time to assess the pros and cons of the project that both Barca CEO, Óscar Grau, and technical secretary Eric Abidal offered him.

The most important Spanish media sources gave Sunday as the key date. However, after the meeting on Saturday night, Xavi asked for more time to think about the decision.

According to 'AS', at Saturday's meeting, after the match against Al Sadd, Grau and Abidal were there on behalf of Barcelona, and Xavi and his brother were there on behalf of the Qatari clubs' manager. There no agreement was reached, despite information that assured that contracts were being drawn up.

Xavi is aware of the importance of saying "yes" to Barcelona's offer. It would be his first big managerial job, after Al Sadd, and that's why he has asked for more time despite his big dream to manage his ex-team.

Meanwhile, the big stars of the Barcelona dressing room spoke with the Al Sadd manager. According to 'Onda Cero', Messi, Piqué, and Busquets spoke with the ex-player to ask him to manage Barcelona.
