Koeman’s agents hit out at Barcelona over lack of commitment

Ronald Koeman’s representatives have hit out at Barcelona and president Joan Laporta’s apparent unwillingness to commit to the Dutchman, in a riddled social media post.

Rob Jansen, via his own Twitter account and that of the Netherlands branch of agency group Wasserman, criticised their approach following a meeting over the former Everton and Southampton boss’s future.

“Imagine: I want to marry you, but I have doubts,” he posted. “Give me two weeks to find a better partner. If I can’t find the right person, we will get married anyway!”

Koeman still has a year left on his contract at the Nou Camp and Laporta confirmed publicly they are “evaluating” the head coach, while Sky Sports News understands they are also assessing other options.

The company said: “The words of FC Barcelona’s president Joan Laporta during a press conference today about Ronald Koeman’s anxiety attack are overdone.

“Ronald has been to the hospital for blood pressure checks, a routine check for people with his medical history.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta says head coach Ronald Koeman, who had a heart attack last year, gave him a scare when he was taken to hospital on Thursday.

“We always worked with maximum respect towards Ronald Koeman, a player that won us that mythical European Cup at Wembley.

“He still has a contract in place and we said we do not believe in transitional seasons. We have spoken to him and will continue to talk to him to make further decisions.”
