Andre Gomes enduring Barcelona 'hell' as a €35m flop

The Portugal international midfielder arrived at Camp Nou as a highly-rated talent but has not found top form and admits to struggling under pressure

Andre Gomes admits he is enduring sporting “hell” at Barcelona after struggling to justify a €35 million transfer fee.

A big-money deal, which includes another €20m in add-ons, took the Portugal international midfielder to Camp Nou in the summer of 2016.

He made that move having impressed in Spain with Valencia and big things were expected of a highly-rated performer in Catalunya.

Gomes has, however, flopped among Barca’s sea of stars, with the 24-year-old conceding that he is no longer enjoying his football following a wave of criticism and added pressure.
