The Matheus scandal

It is possible that a good percentage of the Barça fans do not even know who Matheus Fernandes is (06-30-1998). Therefore, they should be informed that he is a Brazilian midfielder who is about to turn 23 years old, that he cost the club seven million euros plus three in variables from Palmeiras and that, perhaps out of shame, he was never officially presented. as a player of the first team. Well, Matheus Fernandes said goodbye to LaLiga this Saturday without playing a single minute.

He also did not play in the King's Cup and if he did in the Champons it was through Koeman's left hand to give him 17 minutes against Dynamo Kiev so that he could say that, one day, he put on the Barça shirt in an official match.

How could a footballer like Matheus Fernandes end up at Barça; and how the club could hide it to the point of not presenting it officially, is something difficult to understand. Perhaps Eric Abidal, former Barça technical secretary, can explain it. Or André Cury, that strange element

that for a time was responsible for the technical secretariat of Barça in America. AND

n a report published by La Vanguardia last September, some statements were made to FOX by Alexandre Mattos, the sporting director of Palmeiras at that time.

I asked (Cury) to speak with the then technical secretary, Éric Abidal, because he wanted to teach a player.

When he came I said 'look at number 35'.

At that time, they called me crazy.

Do you want to sell Barça a player who plays little for Palmeiras? "And Matheus Fernandes became a Barça player on the last day of January 2020. He

was loaned to Valladolid, possibly to hide it. Six months in Pucela to stagger the strangeness at its arrival.

The midfielder has a contract with Barça until 2025 and a clause of 300 million. Now it is up to the club to negotiate the termination of his contract. By far, he does not have the level to help the team. The footballer is just a victim of an operation that does not have good color.
