Yesterday, Sportunes reported a story about former Barcelona defender Eric Abidal where he claimed the Catalan club refused to pay him during his time of illness (HERE) , well Barca have just released a statement to counter the French man.
“- Both parties confirm that the Club duly complied with the contractual commitments stipulated in the player’s contract.
“- That in January of 2012, even though the player relapsed and underwent liver transplant surgery two months later, FC Barcelona offered Abidal a contract extension which included a substantial renewal bonus. The extension was signed.
“- That in March of 2012, when Abidal’s disease reappeared, the Club did not execute its option to unilaterally rescind the player’s contract per the stipulation in the contract that Abidal signed. By mutual agreement, FC Barcelona and the player suspended the contract until Abidal was medically cleared to play. During this period Abidal continued collecting his agreed upon monthly payments and, upon his return to the first team, he received the proportional sum of his contract.
- In June of 2013, when his contract was due to expire, the Club and Abidal liquidated the contract.”
