Barcelona have confirmed they have terminated the contract of Brazilian midfielder Matheus Fernandes.
Here’s the club’s official, and pretty brief, statement:
“FC Barcelona has informed Brazilian player Matheus Fernandes that the club no longer requires his services and is terminating the contract he had until June 2025.”
The 22-year-old only arrived at the club from Palmeiras in 2020 on a five-year contract for a fee of €7 million, plus €3 million in variables. The deal included a buyout clause set at €300m.
Fernandes went out on loan afterwards to Real Valladolid before returning to Barcelona for the 2020-21 campaign.
