Andre Gomes had a disappointing campaign with Barcelona last season. He was supposed to fill the boots of ageing Iniesta, but the youngster failed to do so. Most of the staff and players at Camp Nou have been left underwhelmed with the impact Gomes managed at Barcelona following his big money move from Valencia.
The Portugal international is being deemed surplus to requirements at Barcelona under new coach Ernesto Valverde, and as a result, the player has been made available in the transfer market for any reasonable bids from interested clubs.
