XtraTime Web Desk: La Liga giants Ronald Koeman wants most of the members of Barcelona 2020/2021campaign to be in place by next week, and for that reason the new Barca boss has informed star players like Luis Suarez, Arturo Vidal, Rakitić and Umtiti that they are not in his plans.
All of them have been told to look for new teams in the new season. Over the coming hours, Koeman will speak to the rest of the dressing room. He has many more players to contact.
Both Suarez and Vidal have received offers from other teams, although they could be used as part of swap deals this summer.
Other Barcelona players who Koeman does not have in his plans are Ivan Rakitic, Samuel Umtiti and Junior Firpo.
They know that the Dutch coach and the club are happy to move on from them in this transfer window, but they are also waiting for a call from Koeman.
Meanwhile, the likes of Sergio Busquets, Sergi Roberto and Gerard Pique are all waiting to see what their new coach has to say to them; they are aware that almost the entire squad is up for sale, but nobody has told them anything yet.
These three players’ continuity at the Camp Nou is not frowned upon by Koeman, while Jordi Alba knows that he will still be a Barcelona player next season.
