Xavi has announced he's leaving Barcelona at the end of this season.
The veteran will move to Qatar to play for Al Sadd this year.
"I'd like to announce that I'm leaving Barça after this season. The decision is definitive yet difficult. I think now is the time to leave, that's the way I feel," said Xavi.
"It was the right decision to stay this year. I still feel important [to the team], but I think it's time. I need a change of scenery. I signed a contract with Al-Sadd [in Qatar] for two seasons and I have a very exciting project at the Aspire Academy. It's the ideal place to continue training."
Xavi revealed that the Club had offered to renew his contract until 2018.
"But the decision had already been made. I don't want to neglect the fans, because they've been spectacular with me. I hope I don't disappoint anyone. It's time to move on. My main goal is to return to Barça [in the future]."
