< p> The FC Barcelona is going through a very eventful period behind the scenes due to the situation around Ronald Koeman . Retained or dismissed? The Barca coach sees his contract running until June 2022 and could be sacked in the coming days if the Blaugrana club fail to raise the bar, according to Spanish press. However, Ronald Koeman could have taken the door this summer.
