There seems to be

no going back

.

There is no official confirmation, but in Catalonia everyone has a certainty: the Dutch Ronald Koeman will not continue as Barcelona coach.

The club would have decided "99%" to fire him despite the fact that he still has one more year left on his contract, revealed in the last hours the program "Tu Dirás" from RCA 1.

The radio outlet points out that "despite last Thursday's meeting (with leaders) in a restaurant in Barcelona, ​​where the two parties showed good harmony,

only the fact that the club did not find an alternative to Koeman would save the position

of the Dutch coach" .

The president of Barcelona, ​​Joan Laporta, "did not have Koeman as his personal bet" and his proposals in recent games "have cost the LaLiga title," adds the information collected by Mundo Deportivo this Monday.

Everything happens hours after

Eduardo Coudet's

hard defeat to Celta

(1-2) that left Lionel Messi's team without a chance, author of a header goal to reach 30 shouts in the season- to fight for the League of Spain, which will be defined between Atlético de Madrid and Real Madrid on the last date.

Through a survey, Barcelona supporters were asked about Koeman's continuity or not and 35.84% answered "Yes" against 64.16% who favored "No".

Last Saturday Koeman had indicated that if he did not have the confidence of President Laporta and his board of directors, he would not be a problem for the club.

"I want and can continue if I have the confidence of the club," he warned.

Meanwhile,

expectations grew in Barcelona

for Xavi Hernández's arrival in the city.

Will it be time for you to take over the team?

In reality, the Catalan idol went to his place in the world to spend his holidays after his season with Al Sadd of Qatar, the club with which he is negotiating his contract renewal.

Will it change plans?

"Xavi Hernández arrived in Barcelona this Monday at noon from Qatar to spend the holidays, but he will take advantage of his days in Barcelona to advance negotiations with FC Barcelona. Although Xavi has just renewed with Al Sadd until 2023 already had in mind a 'Barça clause' to be able to leave his current club free if FC Barcelona made him the offer "

, reports the daily Sport.

It comes hectic hours in Barcelona.

With no goals ahead, Laporta must resolve the future of the club.

Koeman's departure seems to be one of the pending accounts, but not the main one, which is to get Messi's renewal.

Sunday against Celta could have been his last appearance as a Blaugrana player at the Camp Nou.

It is that on June 30 his contract ends.

And, beyond the economic offer, what La Pulga needs is to know that they will have a competitive team to win titles, especially that Champions League that has eluded them since 2015.
