Barcelona have reportedly earmarked Premier League rivals Jurgen Klopp and Ronald Koeman as prime targets to replace Luis Enrique, in the wake of their shocking 4-0 Champions League defeat to PSG.
Barca also trail bitter rivals Real Madrid
in the race for La Liga by a point but los Blancos will have the chance
to extend that to seven points if they win their two games in hand.
According to Spanish outlet Don Balon, 2015 treble winner Enrique's future is now uncertain, and the club are targeting Klopp and Koeman as potential successors.
Klopp gained plenty of plaudits earlier on
the season as his free-scoring Liverpool side went top of the Premier
League table and looked like title contenders, but after a poor January
the Reds now look to be in the battle for the Champions League places.
Koeman,
who already has an affiliation to Barcelona having played for
them during the early 90s, got off to a difficult start in his first
season as Everton manager but his side have been in great form of late -
the Toffees are unbeaten in their last eight league matches, winning
five.
The Merseyside duo haven't been in their
respective jobs for very long, meaning any approach from Barca could be
in vain if their loyalties match their ambitions.
Don
Balon also claim the Catalan club could make a move for Sevilla coach
Jorge Sampaoli, Athletic Bilbao manager Ernesto Valverde, with Borussia
Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel the outside bet.
