According to Spain's Daily Sport newspaper, Barca fired Koeman in the early hours of This Thursday morning, while Cruyff Jr. tried to defend Koeman until the last minute.
Cruyff Jr. was invited by Laporta to return to Barca this summer, and he has a very good relationship with Koeman, and after Barca's away defeat to Vallecano, Cruyff Jr. still chose to defend Koman and advised Laporta to keep Koman.
The Daily Sports revealed that a big reason for Koeman's dismissal was the club's economic considerations, specifically Barca are currently ranked 9th, and Laporta is worried that the team will not be able to play in next season's Champions League, which will cause the club's economy to suffer a big loss.
