Barcelona agree €10m payoff for Ronald Koeman - report

Barcelona have reportedly reached a “friendly” agreement with Ronald Koeman to terminate his contract and will pay the Dutchman €10 million.

Koeman was sacked after Barcelona’s 1-0 defeat by Rayo Vallecano after 14 months in charge at the Camp Nou and replaced by Xavi.

El Periodico are reporting the Catalan giants will shell out €10m to Koeman which will be paid in full before the end of the year.

The Dutchman left Barca with the team down ninth in La Liga on 15 points, six off the top, and with the team in real trouble in their Champions League group after opening defeats against Bayern and Benfica.
