Abidal liver transplant: case closed again by Spanish justice. Abidal underwent a transplant in Barcelona in 2012 to treat liver cancer.
The player claimed that his cousin Gérard Armand, domiciled in France, was the donor. The latter assured that he had received nothing, “not a cent”, in exchange. Barça, Eric Abidal, Sandro Rosell and the Spanish organization responsible for organ donation (ONT) have always denied any crime.
