Barcelona have been treating their players like pieces in a chess game - Alejandro Moreno | ESPN FC

ESPN FC's Gab Marcotti, Alejandro Moreno and Craig Burley discuss the state of Barcelona after the club put several of their players on the chopping block in an effort to land Neymar. Marcotti says the La Liga champions "liberally lobbed the names of several players in the air without telling them." Moreno adds that the likes of Ousmane Dembele, Ivan Rakitic and Samuel Umtiti were treated "like chess pieces" and wouldn't blame them for being upset and taking the treatment by Barca personally.
