Barcelona confirmed that Gerardo Martino has a clause in his contract that will allow him to leave in the summer, but they continue to insist he'll return.
Martino took over last summer as manager of Barça after Tito Vilanova stepped down due to illness.
TV show Esport 3 added to the speculation on Monday when claiming Martino had already told his assistant coaches that he was moving on at the end of the current campaign.
Martino himself has refused to comment on the speculation.
