The Catalan giants are on the hunt for a new manager after Ronald Koeman was sacked last week following a string of poor results this season.
Xavi has been linked with the hot seat at the Camp Nou for the past few years, and reports suggest the former midfield star is Barcelona's main choice for the job at the moment.
The 41-year-old confirmed on Wednesday night that he wants to manage Barcelona, and is hoping the two clubs can thrash out a deal.
"I've been talking to Barca for days, it's done," Xavi said after Al-Sadd's draw with Al-Duhail, as per Goal.
"But now it depends on the conversations between clubs, they need to reach an agreement. Barca is coming to talk, we are all eager and excited. We'll see if it ends up being done.
"I really want to go home. I hope it happens. I have a contract and now the clubs have to negotiate. They already know my position."
While Barcelona search for a new manager, Sergi Barjuan has been put in charge on an interim basis, and oversaw the draw with Deportivo Alaves and the 1-0 win over Dynamo Kiev in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night.
