MADRID (Reuters) - Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman criticised on Friday comments from the club's interim president Carlos Tusquets, who said this week that it was in the Catalan side's economic interests to have cashed in on Lionel Messi.

Barca's all-time top scorer Messi attempted to leave the Camp Nou in the close season, and is expected to walk away on a free transfer when his current contract expires in June.
