Barca board started talks with Xavi weeks ago. Talks will continue today to check the situation with Al-Sadd and resolve issues. The announcement is not imminent yet, the process just started.
Barcelona has been on a series of bad runs of form in the league and the Champions League, which was the reason Koeman was sacked by the club's hierarchy.
