Laporta asks Koeman for 15 days to find a replacement - report

Barcelona president Joan Laporta met with coach Ronald Koeman on Tuesday and while we don’t have a decision on the Dutchman’s future there have been a few leaks about what happened in the meeting.

Laporta apparently told Koeman that he wants about 15 days to talk to possible replacements about taking over at the Camp Nou, according to Catalunya Radio.

The only way Koeman will continue and see out the second year of his contract is if those talks do not end in an agreement.

It had been thought that Laporta was keen to get things wrapped up quickly, but the latest update suggests he is willing to take a bit of time.
