The Catalan club has rescinded the contract of Sergi Guardiola just hours after signing him because of abusive tweets about the club and Catalonia
Barcelona has canceled Sergi Guardiola’s contract just hours after signing him from from Alcorcon.
The 24-year-old was one of three signings announced on Monday for Barca B, but tweets he posted in 2013 have come back to haunt him.
Guardiola directed abusive messages at both Barcelona and Catalonia. In tweets that were shared after his signing was revealed, the attacking midfielder also praised Real Madrid.
“HALA MADRID puta [f**k] cataluna,” he wrote in one tweet in 2013 - with the sentiment echoed in several other tweets.
