"The Barcelona midfielder Xavi Hernández will announce on Thursday he is leaving the club he joined as an 11-year-old to sign a lucrative three-year deal with the Qatari side Al Sadd. Xavi, 35, would also work with Qatar’s Aspire Academy, become an ambassador for the 2022 World Cup to be held in the Gulf state, which is one of Barcelona’s main sponsors, and aim to start his coaching qualifications, his agent, Ivan Corretja, told Reuters. Corretja declined to comment on reports that Xavi will earn €10m (£7.2m) a season." http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/may/20/xavi-hernandez-leave-barcelona-qatar-al-sadd http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/may/20/xavi-hernand...
