Messi did not say he wanted to leave according to Barca, Koeman tipped to replace Setién
Brazilian journalist Marcelo Bechler, who announced Neymar's departure from FC Barcelona for PSG three years ago, said on Sunday that Lionel Messi wanted to leave Barça immediately, after the humiliation suffered against Bayern Munich (8-2 ) in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. The Argentine striker would have announced it to his leaders. Information immediately denied in the daily Mundo Deportivo by the Barcelona management: "No communication from Messi has reached the relevant leaders." As a reminder, the release clause for Messi, whose contract ends at the end of next season, has been set at € 700m.
Also according to Mundo Deportivo , the future replacement of Quique Setién on the bench of the Catalan club is called Ronald Koeman . Negotiations would even already be advanced between the leaders and the Dutch technician who would sign for two years. Aged 57, Koeman has already briefly coached in Spain, at FC Valencia (2007-08). He is currently coach of the Netherlands and wore the colors of Barça for six years (1989-95). The other track studied to replace Setien would lead to Mauricio Pochettino, the former coach of Tottenham.
