Barcelona are set to release veteran defender Jeremy Matheiu although he has a year left on his contract.
The 34 year old played only 16 matches for Barcelona in all competitions last season, scoring just a single goal. Injuries hampered his campaign, with muscular, ankle and Achilles problems reducing his game time and meaning that he started only twice since picking up a knock against Atletico Madrid in a 2-1 February win.
Reports from Radio Kanal Barcelona suggest that Mathieu’s contract will be terminated in the coming hours, freeing up €2.4 million of wages.
Mathieu has spent the last two seasons at Barcelona, having previously spent five years at Valencia and the four prior to that in his homeland with Toulouse, after graduating through the Sochaux youth system. It is expected that the former France international defender will join Sporting CP on a free transfer.
