Coutinho, Umtiti and Pjanic dropped for Real Sociedad match as Barca plan on selling them (reliability: 5 stars)

Philippe Coutinho, Samuel Umtiti and Miralem Pjanic didn't make Barcelona's squad list for the league opener against Real Sociedad.

According to the reliable TV3, this is because the Catalans want to offload the trio this summer. At the moment, Ronald Koeman doesn't count on them, it's claimed.

Alex Collado too was left out of the squad. His omission, however, isn't explained by TV3.

It's also worth noting that Coutinho's no.14 has been assigned to Rey Manaj. This could mean that Philippe is either leaving or that he is going to get a new shirt number.
