Barcelona sporting director Eric Abidal and the club's CEO Oscar Grau are currently in Doha, where they met with Xavi Hernandez on Friday, according to RAC1. 

Journalist Gerard Romero revealed that the delegation travelled to Qatar from Saudi Arabia and that they did so to speak with former midfielder Xavi about the possibility of taking over at Camp Nou in the future. 

Xavi is currently the coach of Qatar side Al-Sadd, the club he ended his playing career at after leaving Barcelona in 2015. 

 

The meeting comes at a time when there's criticism of Ernesto Valverde. However, the Barça coach still has the backing of the players at the club and is expected to continue in the short-term.
