Barcelona coach Koeman wants midfield trio offloaded

Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman is eager to see three more players offloaded before the summer market shuts.

Since his appointment, Koeman has overseen the sales of Arthur, Ivan Rakitic, Arturo Vidal, Luis Suárez, Nelson Semedo and Moussa Wague.

And Mundo Deportivo says the clearout isn't yet over.

The Dutchman also is prepared to see Rafinha, Carles Alena and Riqui Puig also offloaded in the coming days. Koeman sees lightening the midfield as a priority.

However, he would also be happy if striker Martin Braithwaite and defensive pair Samuel Umtiti and Jean-Clair Todibo are moved on.

Apart from Puig, Koeman has approved the sales of all the aforementioned names.
