Xavi Hernández
Age: 35
Debut: vs. Mallorca, Aug. 18, 1998
Games: 506
Goals: 58
Assists: 97
Xavi Hernández, FC Barcelona's most decorated and longest serving player, has announced he will leave the Catalan club after 17 years of service.
The midfielder has been at Barcelona since he was 11 and was 18 when he made his first-team debut in a Spanish Super Cup meeting with RCD Mallorca on 18 August 1998. Some 763 appearances later – the next highest is Migueli on 549 – Xavi has won everything there is to win for the club, also inspiring Spain to unprecedented success on the international stage.
Xavi has signed a deal believed to be worth €10 million per season for the next three years, and has an option for a fourth.
That's a staggeringly high wage number, and likely not one that anyone else was willing to match, despite significant rumors of interest from New York City FC of MLS.
Xavi be filling a hole in Al Sadd's roster left by Raul, the Real Madrid legend who spent two seasons with Al Sadd before departing for America last fall to sign for the New York Cosmos.
