Koeman on the possibility of fans returning to stadiums...

Koeman on if Barça are the favorites for the LaLiga title now...

Koeman talks about Griezmann...

Koeman talks about PSG’s alleged offer to Messi...

🗣 “I am not interested, first because I do not know if it is true. I hope Leo stays with us, he must end up here because he has been here all his life, but it is his decision. What worries me is the game tomorrow." #FCB 🇦🇷🇫🇷🚨
Koeman on Fati’s recovery and more...

🗣 "Of course we are working for next season, thinking about improving, like any coach and any club. We have been without Ansu Fati for five months and we have known how to deal without him, an important player despite his age." #FCB 🇪🇸
Koeman discusses possible signings...

🗣 “Together with Ramon Planes and Mateu Alemany, we decide what is best for the team, but in the end the financial question depends on the President." #FCB 👥🚨
