Koeman: “Yes, I would like to go to Barça, but the signature is missing”

Ronald Koeman is in Zeist, headquarters of the Netherlands Football Association (KNVB), to talk about his departure as national coach to sign for Barcelona. When asked about his return to the Barça club, the coach said: “Yes, I would like to, but it will only be final when the signature has been placed. Until then I can't say anything about it. Even if I wanted to. “

In Zeist no one doubts that Koeman will leave the national team, according to the Dutch press. In fact, Óscar Grau, CEO of Barça, yesterday negotiated the operation with the oranje federation.

Koeman has a current contract with the KNVB, but cThere is a clause that he can terminate his employment relationship with the national team if Barcelona knocks on his door. That clause was only applicable after Euro 2020, but circumstances have changed as the tournament has been moved to 2021. Barcelona also knocked on Koeman's door in January, but he rejected the proposal.

Koeman, 57, played for Barcelona from 1989 to 1995 and gave the club the first European Cup in 1992 with his goal in the final against Sampdoria.

Koeman will relieve Quique Setién, fired by Barcelona after 8-2 against Bayern in the quarterfinals of the Champions League. For the first time in twelve years, the Catalans did not get a single title.
