Summary: Intercity - Barcelona 4:3 (Sport1)
The court in Catalonia ordered Barcelona to pay 7.7 million euros in compensation to the former player of the team, Mateus Fernandez.
According to a publication in "Athletic", the club will appeal the ruling given after the Brazilian midfielder petitioned the court claiming that he is owed 14.8 million euros as part of his contract, which was allowed in June 2021.
Fernandez joined Barcelona in 2020 from Palmeiras, after signing for five years in one of the failed moves initiated by Andre Carey, Neymar's former agent who was employed by Barca as a scout in the Brazilian market until president Juan Laporte fired him at the start of his current tenure.
After making only one appearance as a substitute in the Champions League, and failing to leave a mark, the Blaugrana released his contract unilaterally and included a report from the club's physiotherapist in the release letter they sent to the player, while the official press release stated that "the services of Mateus Fernandez are no longer needed and his contract has ended" .
will be compensated in millions of euros.

The player, who was purchased at the time for 7 million euros + 3 million in bonuses, returned to Palmeiras and was unable to fit in.
Later he was loaned to Atlético Paranense, but even in its ranks he did not justify a place in the team and at the beginning of this season he was loaned to Red Bull Bragantino.
