Enrique returns to Barça after being the B Team manager from 2008 to 2011.[5]

On 10 July, Barcelona announced it had rescinded the contract of forward Isaac Cuenca.[9] Cuenca makes the move to Deportivo La Coruña, where he signed for one season to join the Galician club.[10] Later on the day, Barcelona completed the transfer of Alexis Sánchez to Arsenal for 42 million euros.[11] Sánchez leaves after three years with the club in where he played 141 matches and scoring 47 goals, including a season personal best of 21 goals during the 2014–15 season.
