Barcelona technical director Ramon Planes has submitted his resignation.
Sport says Planes believes his cycle there is over and he wants to look for a new challenge in his career. He recently had his deal renewed by Joan Laporta for two years.
He brought players like Pedri and Ronald Araujo to the club, while Gavi and Ilaix's growth was also partly due to him. His departure will mean Barcelona need to give director of football Mateu Alemany another person to support him.
He spoke with the club directors earlier Wednesday to explain his decision. Barcelona do not want him to leave ahead of the winter transfer window with the planning already in place. Now they will have to look for a replacement.
