Messi wants Barcelona to replace Valverde with Koeman, sell three first-team players

Barcelona captain, Lionel Messi, wants the club to replace current manager, Ernesto Valverde with former Everton coach, Ronald Koeman following the Blaugrana's 3-1 defeat to Levante in the La Liga over the weekend.

Messi opened scoring for Barcelona in the first half of the encounter but three goals from Jose Campana, Borja Mayoral and Nemanja Radoja ensured Levante defeated the La Liga champions at the Estadi Ciutat de Valencia.

According to Fox Sports, the 32-year-old also wants Barca to sell three first-team players; Ousmane Dembele, Sergi Roberto and Nelson Semedo.

The newspaper reports that the Argentine star has not been impressed with Dembele, Roberto and Semedo's performances for the Catalan club this season and feel the trio's time at the Camp Nou is done and dusted.

Messi will now hope to lead Barcelona to victory when they take on Slavia Prague in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday.
