Bartomeu confident of Luis Enrique Barcelona commitment after series of crunch meetings

Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu believes Luis Enrique is committed for next season. The coach and president have held a series of meetings over the past month, where Bartomeu sought to assure Enrique that his concerns would be addressed.

Enrique remains unhappy with the sacking of former sports director Andoni Zubizarreta and the lack of depth to his backroom team.

He also excused himself from the club's most recent 'technical meeting', which fueled talk of Enrique walking away after the Champions League final.

But Sport says Bartomeu is confident he's convinced Enrique that his concerns will be met and the weaknesses in the coaching structure he's identified will be strengthened.

Enrique could confirm publicly his intention to stay later this week.
