Ronald Koeman 'to be handed total control of Barcelona transfers'

Barcelona chiefs will allow new head coach Ronald Koeman to have the final say on all incoming and outgoing activity in the transfer window, according to a report.

Ronald Koeman will reportedly be given total freedom to sign the players he wants as part of this summer's overhaul at Barcelona.

The Dutchman was appointed as Quique Setien's successor on a two-year deal last week and has been tasked with rebuilding Barca on the back of a disastrous campaign.

All but eight players are believed to have been put up for sale by the Catalan giants, while the future of star man Lionel Messi also remains unclear.

According to Spanish outlet Marca, however, Koeman will have the final say on who leaves and who arrives at Camp Nou over the next couple of months.

Koeman is said to have set his sights on three players - Inter Milan forward Lautaro Martinez, Manchester City centre-back Eric Garcia and Valencia left-back Jose Gaya.

Barca finished the 2019-20 campaign trophyless - the first time that has happened since 2008.
