Barcelona has a disturbing start to their preseason schedule, with many doubts about their journey to Japan and South Korea. Initially, the club confirmed that their tour was put on hold because of alleged contractual infringements, although it is still expected that they will travel for the next 24/48 hours.
Barcelona is less than satisfied with the promoters of the Tour, and that is why there is now a chance that they will not travel to Japan. However, the purpose of the club is to at least fulfill the South Korea stage of the trip, as confirmed by vice-president Rafa Yuste.
Yuste, who was expected to leave Barcelona in favor of moving to Saudi Aarabia, spoke with Jijantes (via MD) about this issue, in which he took the opportunity to touch the promoters of the Tour.
“We work to go to Korea. We are not going to Japan because they have not respected the club, we defend the interests of the club. There are people who do not respect the similarities.”
After he revealed that the trip to Japan and South Korea had been out of guard, it will arise on Thursday that Barcelona would travel to East Asia to start their schedule for the season, with their opening match against Vissel Kobe that is still taking place on Sunday.
However, Barcelona had decided not to travel on Thursday, even though they had been their plan. Instead, the intention is to stick out on Friday morning, as Diario has been revealed as. If this happens, the match against Vissel Kobe should not doubt, although the preparations by Hansi Flick and his first team team have been far from ideal prior to their first action of the 2025-26 campaign.
