Planes’ exit is another big change at Barcelona.
His departure comes after Joan Laporta replaced Josep Maria Bartomeu as president earlier this year while Xavi has recently been appointed as head coach following the sacking of Ronald Koeman.
Xavi will take charge of his first game against Espanyol on Sunday.
It has been reported that Planes could be heading to the Premier League with Newcastle, Liverpool and Manchester United potential destinations.
