Barcelona president names seven players who are not for sale

The Hindu  

New Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman is expected to oversee a massive overhaul of the squad as he leads it into a new era after its weaknesses were exposed in the 8-2 thrashing by Bayern Munich, president Josep Maria Bartomeu has said. Koeman, one of Barca's greatest ever players who was confirmed as the club's new coach on Wednesday, will oversee the transition alongside Ramon Planes, the new chief technical secretary after Eric Abidal left the club. WATCH “The technical secretary and new coach will take drastic measures and they will affect certain players, who we should give a proper farewell to,” Bartomeu said in an interview with the club's official television channel on Tuesday. Bartomeu did not say which players would depart but referred to seven players who were not for sale: captain Lionel Messi, goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, defenders Clement Lenglet and Nelson Semedo, plus recent signings Antoine Griezmann, Frenkie de Jong and French winger Ousmane Dembele. It's very important to listen to opinions but the coach and technical secretary will take the decision together.” READ | Barca will face a challenge in selling some players due to having the biggest wage bill in world soccer, at a time when all clubs are facing serious financial difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has stripped them of matchday revenue and ticket sales.
