Barcelona directors are at odds with Lionel Messi over the make-up of their squad.
Looking on from his summer break, Messi has expressed frustration over Barca's first few weeks of summer market work.
Don Balon says the Argentine also wants to see at least four of the current squad shipped out: Munir El Haddadi, Thomas Vermaelen, Arda Turan and Andre Gomes.
Barca's board are in agreement with Messi over the first three, but have informed the midfielder that Gomes is staying.
Gomes' agent, Jorge Mendes, has been in regular contact with Barca chief Robert Fernandez since the end of last season and during discussions over various players, he has been assured the Portugal international is a required player for next season.
