Barcelona are to tour the United States as part of their preseason calendar next summer, with games planned against Manchester United, AC Milan and Mexican team America.
The Catalan club said on its website on Thursday that the club will also play in Munich, Germany and Split, Croatia.

The tour will conclude in Dallas on August 6 with Barcelona taking on America.
The club hopes the six-date tour, which includes three matches in Europe before the team departs for the US, will net Barcelona €6.2 million.
Barcelona toured the US as part its preseason preparations in 2008 and 2009.
The team is likely to be without forward Lionel Messi, right back Daniel Alves and midfielder Javier Mascherano because of the Copa America in Argentina, which ends July 24.
Messi and Mascherano are regulars on Argentina's national team and Daniel Alves on Brazil's.
