The arrival of Ronald Koeman to FC Barcelona was involved in many polemics. The Dutch head coach had to replace Quique Setién after a tremendous defeat on Champions League against Bayern Munich and, just after he landed, some players were axed from the first team by ex-president Josep María Bartomeu, as Luis Suárez.

After some time working, it seems to be that Koeman make Barça improve and Lionel Messi is now going through a better moment than the one he was facing some months ago. Despite that, there are some rumors coming from Spain that indicate that Koeman has several problems with some players at the locker room and that they will be departing.

The most emblematic case is the one of Riqui Puig, the midfielder formed in La Masía whom fans support but that the manager doesn’t really like. Koeman has told him to find for another club to play at and during the next transfer window it is almost for sure that he will be leaving.

But now it was revealed the complete list of the players that Koeman want out. As the trainer pretends to make some signings, the departure of others is necessary, due to the bad financial situation from Barcelona. Konrad de la Fuente, Júnior Firpo and Matheus Fernandes are those set to leave. If all of them are sold, Barcelona could earn up to $35 or $40 million.
