Al Sadd have offered coach Xavi a new contract.
The Barcelona great has just led Al Sadd to a league title triumph with four games remaining of the season.
Xavi's current deal expires in June and Al Sadd have tabled new terms to 2023. The offer includes a pay-rise for him and his staff, plus the current Barcelona break clause which is in his present agreement.
Xavi has asked for time to consider the offer.
However, AS says he is leaning towards accepting it as he wishes to lead Al Sadd in next season's Asian Champions League.
