Xavi extends Al Sadd contract

Spain and Barcelona icon Xavi has agreed a contract extension with Al Sadd that will see him remain at the club until 2018. Xavi brought the curtain down on his decorated Camp Nou career in 2015, signing a two-year deal with the Qatari side. The 37-year-old midfielder has now renewed his contract in the Middle East for a third season. World Cup and two-time European Championship winner Xavi is captain at Al Sadd and helped the club to a third-place finish in his first Stars League campaign. The Doha-based side sit second this season, three points adrift of leaders Lekhwiya with Xavi having appeared in all 17 matches, contributing six goals. #Xavi with us until 2018#AlSadd #Qatar https://t.co/GQLeMGf3QL pic.twitter.com/ALcjtjcW8U — Al-Sadd Sports Club (@AlsaddSC) January 26, 2017
