Barcelona have '99% decided' to part company with Ronald Koeman at the end of the season, according to reputable Spanish outlet RAC1.
The news comes after the Blaugrana's 2-1 loss at the hands of Celta Vigo on Sunday - something that put an end to Barca's title hopes.
Joan Laporta doesn't see Koeman as his 'main choice' and is now looking for a replacement. The Dutchman, however, could continue at in the Camp Nou dugout next term if Laporta fails to find one, as per the source.
Koeman's exit from Barca this summer is gaining strength as the Catalans could've leapfrogged Atletico Madrid at the top of the table on April 29 but have registered a single victory in five matches since then instead.
