Former Barça player sued the club for 8.5 million euros

Forgotten history got a new twist: now "Bars" ordered to pay the Brazilian 8.5 million euros for early termination of the contract. Although the player himself asked for almost 15 million, this amount of compensation will surely suit him.

«Barcelona» broke up with Fernandez via email

Matheus' contract was calculated until the summer of 2025, but already in June 2021, the Catalans parted ways with the midfielder. And they did it in a very cynical way.

"I didn't know this was going to happen, and when I got the email notification, I didn't believe it. Shortly https://1win-azerbaycan.com/ before this, one of the club employees asked me if my mail address had changed, and then I received this letter.

I did not understand what it was, forwarded it to an agent and a lawyer. They said it was a contract termination notice. After a while, everything appeared in the press. But no one from the club spoke to me, there was nothing. They didn't even say goodbye to me on the phone.

I don't know what's in Barcelona. happens, things have taken a very strange turn. One guy was kicked out over the phone, now – by email. But after all, call and talk – it doesn't cost anything. Say we don't count on you. In any profession, this is possible, but it must be discussed. I think this is a very unprofessional approach, – this is how Matheus described the termination process.

In "Barcelona" Matheus was entrusted with only 17 minutes

2021 was almost the worst year for Fernandez in his career. For Barça he spent only 17 minutes on the field – came out against Kyiv "Dynamo" in the Champions League (4:0). In Brazil, the defensive midfielder was a regular starter for Botafogo, then he was signed by Palmeiras. – and here he was no longer a solid base player. Despite this, Barça bought it and loaned it to Valladolid – where he played 166 minutes in half a season.

"My childhood dream was to play in Barcelona. But when I got there, they didn't treat me like an athlete. I spoke to the director, who didn't seem to think I was a professional Barça player. Whether I win a lot or a little, depending on some other factors, I am a Barcelona player. I do not demand anything, I do not say whether to put me in the squad or not, it depends on the coach and other players. But I want to be treated the same as others.
