Barcelona plan European pre-season

Spanish and European champions Barcelona have revealed plans to remain in Europe during pre-season.

In recent years Barca have taken trips to the United States of America and the Far East.

However, with the majority of Barca's squad expected to be participating at the European Championships this summer, coach Pep Guardiola is keen to avoid his players having to do too much travelling.

The club went on to confirm that they will partake in further international tours in the future.
