Barcelona would return to the United States for a preseason tour next summer, according to Javier Miguel of Diario As. The last time the Cules visited America came three years ago, when they faced Napoli twice.
The Covid-19 outbreak in 2020 halted the usual preseason tours many European giants used to do in the summer. This would see Barca return to a country where they have a big community of fans.
The report claims that the La Liga club plans to make a trip to the West Coast to play three or four friendly matches. They don’t know the dates yet because if Barca win theEuropa League, they’d have to plan their schedule according to the UEFA Super Cup. However, the Spanish outlet mentioned which teams they could face.
