Barcelona will make a decision this week over the future of Adama Traore.
With Liverpool and Bayern Munich chasing the winger's signature, AS says the final decision will be left to Barca B coach Gerard Lopez.
Even if Gerard was to say Traore could leave, Barca will still have to decide the manner of his departure.
Traore is rated highly inside Spanish football, though at this stage, senior Barca coach Luis Enrique doesn't see him as up to first team level.
Liverpool and Bayern have been in contact with Barca to register their interest in Traore over the past week.
