Barcelona boss Ronald Koeman held talks with Joan Laporta at the club's Nou Camp offices on Tuesday to discuss his future at the club.
According to Marca, the conversation that involved Koeman's representative, Rob Jansen, only lasted half an hour.
The outcome of the meeting is yet to be determined with Koeman facing an uncertain future after missing out on the title.
Barca were in prime position to win the league but fluffed their lines in the final weeks of the season, instead allowing Atletico Madrid to lift the trophy, with Real Madrid their closest challengers.
On top of that, the Nou Camp giants are struggling financially, with new president Laporta set to embark on a summer of change.
As a result, the Barcelona manager was forced to sit down with Laporta to discuss what happens next at the club.
The pair were due to discuss both his future at Barcelona and his plans for the summer transfer window.
Although the details of the conversation are yet to be announced, it is believed a decision regarding Koeman's future at the club will be released soon.
Having spoken previously about his role as Barcelona manager, he said: 'I don't think this is my last game. I don't know, but you talk about it a lot.
He added: 'I'm calm. If the club want to make a change, then they have to talk to me.'
Regardless of whoever the Barcelona manager is next season, there will be increasing pressure to get the club back to the summit of Spanish football.
The Catalan giants have now gone two seasons without LaLiga success, having finished third and second in 2020-21 and 2019-20.

HALF AN HOUR MEETING IS LIKE... Koeman: Goodafternoon Mr President Laporta: Goodevening gaffer... how are you doing today? Koeman: I am fine Sir. Laporta: Alright... unbehalf of the club, we want to thank you for all your inputs, sacrifices and time put in so far. emmm emmm... you know I promised our fans a major change? Koeman: Yes Sir, we need to buy new players, offload old ones, strategize for the new... Laporta: (cuts in) Yes, we need to do all those things and more but first we need to look at this from the administrative point of view... A band of sheep led by a lion will always defeat a band of lion led by a sheep. Everything rises and falls on leadership. Koeman: You're right Sir. Laporta: I admire you a lot Mr Koeman. Koeman: Thank you sir Laporta: But we as a club needs to move forward. The first is to get rid of anything that reminds this club of the past administration. The board has decided to move on... Koeman: But sir we've done some good work here and can improve Laporta: No doubt, but we have our plans and what we want to achieve. Definitely you are not the one to do that. Barcelona has the DNA of winning which has been lost in the past few years. We need to get that back. I am sorry Mr Koeman but you have proven incapable of leading such project. Your services are no longer required. I will communicate the press by tomorrow. (stands up to shake him) Thank you for your services. I am sorry it has to end this way... (Koeman frowns and leaves the office... curtain fells)

we need accept the fact....Let me explain... First tell me about his wrost substitutions he has made whole season which cost us a lot of point.. Everyone knows it...Second He was the reason why we were 14 at the table at the begging of the season... Third he has 0 tactics... It's a truth....His only tactics is keep possession.... And his formation Isn't suitable to Barca...It’s Barca who like to attack not Everton Who want to be defensive all the time...He has lost almost every big match in this season... It's not acceptable... His Personal issue with players is costing us(Barcelona)... Just bcz of his personal issue he is making talented player like Puig, Alex,Pjanic on the pitch...His dumb decision is effecting player performance... Just like He played De jong and pedri almost every match in this season which really effecting their performance...
