Ronald Koeman planning Barcelona clear-out, Frenkie de Jong set for key role

Ronald Koeman is set to be announced as Barcelona’s new manager imminently and has already been thinking about how his team will look at the Camp Nou.

The Dutchman reportedly has a clear plan which is going to spell bad news for many of Barcelona’s veterans, according to El Periodico.

Koeman wants to start off by waving goodbye to Luis Suárez, Samuel Umtiti, Arturo Vidal and Ivan Rakitic and could do the same with Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets too.

Of course much may depend on the transfer market which is difficult to predict due to the impact of the coronavirus crisis.
