Barcelona midfielder Xavi will end his long association with the Catalan giants at the end of the season, according to his father.
Xavi joined the club's famous La Masia youth system at the age of 11 and has developed into a central figure in a glorious era for them.
He won his eighth Primera Division winners' medal last week and will be bidding for his fourth in the Champions League when Barca face Juventus in the final next month.
That match in Berlin on June 6 could be Xavi's last in the Blaugrana colours ahead of a reported move to Qatari club Al Sadd, having lost his regular starting place to Ivan Rakitic this season.
His father Joaquin Hernandez told Cope Radio: "His ultimate dream would have been to finish his football career here (at the Nou Camp).
"But he is 35 years old and I think there comes a time to say 'enough' to the club.
"He was very fortunate to receive a truly impressive offer that allows him to continue to play football, to prepare as a future coach and rest a little."
Barca's final match of the season against Deportivo La Coruna this Saturday is therefore likely to be Xavi's last at the Nou Camp and should prove an emotional affair.
