Barcelona coach Xavi will leave four players out of his tour squad when they fly to the US on Saturday.
Xavi will not count on Samuel Umtiti, Oscar Mingueza, Riqui Puig and Martin Braithwaite, none of whom will travel this weekend.
No agreement was reached for any of the aforementioned four. Umtiti came close to joining Rennes and Monza tried to sign Mingueza, but both deals fell through.
Meanwhile, there are some cases that remain to be defined. One of them is that of Neto, whose future is still up in the air. Another player is Miralem Pjanic, who didn’t play under Xavi last year. Pjanic returned to training on July 4.
And then there are the two Dutch players. Barcelona want to sell Frenkie de Jong, as they informed the player in a meeting last Monday, says Sport.
It remains to be seen how things develop in the next few days. And the same goes for Memphis Depay, who is up for sale and could also leave soon.
However, it is not so clear whether they will join the rest of their teammates in the US tour if there’s no news about their future before Saturday.
