'They didn’t treat me as a footballer' - Barcelona blasted by Matheus Fernandes over shock contract call

The Brazilian midfielder was released by La Liga giants in June after seeing just 17 minutes of competitive game time for the club

Matheus Fernandes has slammed Barcelona for ripping up his contract without warning, with the Brazilian midfielder claiming that La Liga giants "didn't treat me as a footballer".

The 23-year-old, who was snapped up by the Blaugrana in January 2020, was informed of his release at Camp Nou back in June after taking in just 17 minutes of competitive game time.

He had been firmly frozen out by Ronald Koeman, much to his surprise, but claims no warning was given that his deal would be ended during a cost-cutting summer in Catalunya.
