The Barcelona of recent years is fighting not only on the sporting front, but also on the economic front, after losing huge sums, which it is trying to cover in any possible way.
However, the court in Catalonia ruled this week that the team will have to put its hand in its pocket, although not too deep, and compensate one of its purchased players in the amount of 7.7 million euros.
This is Mateus Fernandez, a young Brazilian who signed with the team in the summer of 2020 for three years, for 7 million euros, not including bonuses.
He came from the Palmeiras team with the help of the agent who represents Neymar.
Fernandez, to put it mildly, did not impress in Barcelona, he only played 17 minutes, as a substitute in a cup game, and last June his contract was unilaterally terminated by the club.
The disappointed player returned to the Brazilian league and since then managed to move in three teams: Palmeiras, Atlético Paranense and Red Bull Braggintano, but did not forget to close an account with Barca and sued them.
As mentioned, after a year and a half legal process, it was determined that Barcelona should compensate Fernandez, who may not be impressive as a footballer, but at least pocketed a few million.
