A rattling band – and in the middle of it Lionel Messi: This is what Ronald Koeman’s new FC Barcelona could look like. The Barca coach turns the (financial) hardship into a virtue.
Lionel Messi stays at FC Barcelona, after all.
However, the fact that the Argentine world star is still part of the Catalans after his almost farewell is probably one of the few constants of the upcoming season.
In the midst of the biggest barca crisis, new head coach Ronald Koeman has to build a renewed team that should be as competitive as possible despite the precarious financial situation. This is not an easy task
for the Dutch coach, because with Arthur, who hired with Juventus Turin and Ivan Rakitic (FC Sevilla), two top performers have already been approved – and others
are to follow.
Suárez and Vidal before leaving It is expected that Luis Suárez will leave soon, who will have no future under Koeman. The Uruguayan is at the top of Juventus Turin’s list, but his change is still on hold.
With Arturo Vidal, Barcelona’s next over-30 player is on his way to Serie A. The former Bavarian star is likely to wear the jersey of Inter Milan next season, although some contract details still need to be clarified here.
