According to the source, the Blue and Gold bosses believe that it will be extremely difficult for the club to invite Mikel Arteta and Luis Enrique, who are unwilling to leave their projects. As for Jürgen Klopp, the German specialist will take a year off. Therefore, Roberto De Zerbi is the main candidate for the post of head coach.

The Catalan club considers De Zerbi to be a tactically bold coach whose idea of football is linked to Barcelona's traditional values.
