According to Spanish media outlet As.
Harvey or Harvey (name)
is willing to waive the approximately €12 million release clause in his contract, provided that the
Barcelona
The salaries of his team of assistants, totaling less than 3 million euros, must be paid in full.
Xavi and Barcelona are expected to meet on Tuesday local time to discuss compensation for the termination of their contracts. Xavi himself is willing to give up his entire release payment in exchange for his eight assistants being paid their full salaries. Xavi, whose contract expires in June 2025, will meet with Barca president Laporta, accompanied by his agent. He is willing to give up all his money for the remaining year, but as a precondition, Barca must pay his team's salaries in full.
Xavi has a team of eight, seven of whom moved with him to Barca from Al Sadd in Qatar two and a half years ago. These assistants include:
helper
: Oscar Hernandez and Sergio Allegri
physical trainer
: Ivan Torres
physiotherapist
: Carlos Nogueira
analysts
: David Platz, Sergio Garcia and Tony Lobo
Head of Communications
: Edouard Paul (joined last summer)
All of them signed a contract with Barcelona until 2025, but with very different compensation. Xavi's release clause amounted to almost €12 million, while the team's assistants' total salary was less than €3 million.
Xavi's entourage has assured As that Xavi will be "uncompromising" when negotiating his salary for the team, as he knows that the club can accept these amounts. If Laporta doesn't put up any obstacles in the end, Xavi will part ways with Barcelona peacefully.
Barcelona will officially announce the arrival of Frick once a release agreement is reached with Xavi. Frick is expected to replace Xavi and lead Barcelona in the new season.
