I don't think you understood my point.
Of course i know your point. Just add that a game vs Boca, even in Saudi is acceptable. Not even mention this is a Maradona tribute game.
Laporta doesn't care for Xavi.

Pretentious lmao, we're asking them to let their coach go for free mid-season, the least they can ask for is Laporta to come and talk himself because he is unsettling their whole squad, if I was them I wouldn't give them the courtesy of negotiating over a fee if they can't be bothered to send their main man who's asking them to let him go for free

It has nothing to do with what you said. They won't let him go even if we asked them in the summer, just like when Carlo Ancelotti wanted to leave PSG for Real Madrid at the END of the season, and after winning their first Ligue 1 title in 19 years. Xavi has to force his way out just like Ancelotti. I dealt with Qataris on a business level and I know what I'm talking about.
First of all it is not acceptable.
A Maradona tribute game should be played in Argentina in front of Boca fans, or in Napoli in front of Napoli fans. Playing it vs. Barca and in Saudi Arabia is just nonsense. Maradona had little impact in Barcelona. His entire career was about Boca, Napoli and Argentina. His career at Barca is basically a moot point when it comes to his overall career. Nonexistent impact-wise for his overall career.
Now to the main point: If the reason for not traveling to Qatar is because he doesn't like Qatar or approve of their human rights violations and all that stuff, then agreeing to hold it in KSA is just as bad.
That's just being hypocritical.
AlSadd has termination clause we are refusing to pay, they owe us nothing and Xavi accepted that well paid contract on his own well.
If we are unwilling to pay the clause, they have every right to act arrogantly
Apologies if someone posted it before.Turki Al-Ali: The club's position is clear from the beginning - we are committed to keeping our coach Xavi with us and we cannot have him leave at this sensitive time of the season.

Any stream to watch them? Quite interested to see how they play.
