'SER': Bartomeu says Valverde will continue at Barcelona next season

The programme which Manu Carreño presents quotes Josep Maria Bartomeu as the Barcelona source which has confirmed that Ernesto Valverde will carry on at Barcelona. 

After the initial calm over the Barca coach's future, the defeat in the Copa del Rey final has put Valverde once again under the spotlight. Gerard Pique and Leo Messi supported him. But as time as gone by, more information on the search for a substitute by Barcelona had come to light. 

On Monday night, there was talk of contact with Roberto Martinez which was denied by the Belgian Federation. Other information pointed out that his sacking was imminent. 'EFE' offered a different version from the club, which stated there has not been urgent movement with regards to Valverde. 

Radio station 'Cadena SER' indicates that Bartomeu has confirmed that Valverde will continue being the coach of the Catalan giants. His team were knocked out of the Champions League after squandering a three goal first leg lead against Liverpool and they lost the Copa del Rey. Barca did win the league title though. 

In addition, PSG and Barca are apparently negotiating the transfer of Neymar, who played for four seasons with Messi and co. This transfer would be massive news.
