Rakitic, Arturo Vidal and Umtiti not in Koeman's plans either
The three players must look elsewhere for football this season
Barcelona have started work on their clearout. Luis Suarez is the biggest name but Ronald Koeman also doesn't count on Ivan Rakitic, Arturo Vidal and Samuel Umtiti either, while Junior Firpo is also set to be removed.
Barca will make it easy for the players to go but also want to get money in from their sales so they can spend themselves.
Koeman has been speaking to those affected by his decisions. In some cases, like Rakitic or Umtiti, they knew already that it was time to go and the club didn't want them.
Rakitic has offers from the Premier League and the Italian league, but it seems his priority is to try and go to Sevilla for free. In the coming days negotiations will bein.
Meanwhile Umtiti could go to Italy. Arturo Vidal has interest in Europe too, with PSG in touch, Juve and Inter following the news.
Junior has a 20m euro price tag on him but could be loaned out to Italy.
