It seems that Dutchman Ronald Koeman will remain at the helm of Barcelona next season, and that is why he decided to abandon half of his team and rely almost entirely on youth and build a team for the future.
According to Spanish press reports, Barca has placed on the list of departures in the summer Mercato: Brazilian Felipe Coutinho, Brazilian goalkeeper Neto, French defender Samuel Umtiti, Danish Martin Brathwaite, Bosnian Miralem Pjanic, and Brazilian Matthews Pereira.
The British newspaper "Daily Star" also reported that Barca is ready to give up Coutinho in the upcoming summer transfers for about 40 million euros only.
As for Biantic, it seems that his relationship with Koeman is not good and deteriorated when the Bosnian player told an Italian newspaper that he does not have many minutes of play, to come to him the answer from Koeman that this issue is resolved within the walls of the club and not through the media, and that is why he was placed on the list of departures.
In addition to the names mentioned, there is the French defender Jean-Claire Todibeau on loan to Nice, who does not want to return to Barcelona, and hopes that the French team will activate the purchase option in the loan contract for 8 million euros in addition to 7 million variables.
The Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo reported that Koeman wanted to have the final say in contracts.
The Dutch coach asked the club's management to have coordination before hiring any player, and that he also wanted to speak with the player before signing him.
Koeman - apparently - did not want to be like the Spaniard Ernesto Valverde, the former coach of Barca, when the management contracted with the Brazilian Malcom, and he did not ask for it.
