Barcelona terminated the contract of midfielder Sergi Guardiola just
hours after he signed because of a series of "offensive" tweets, the
club said on Monday. Guardiola, 24, signed to play for Barca B on Monday, and the team announced the move on their website, complete with photos. But by the end of the day they had taken down that report and soon posted another that said the contract was no longer valid.
Sergi Guardiola’s decision to write offensive
tweets aimed at Barcelona came back to haunt him Monday when he was
hired and fired by the Spanish giants on the same day.
A statement on the club website
said: "FC Barcelona has decided to terminate the contract signed with
Sergi Guardiola, after finding that he had published offensive tweets
about the club and Catalonia."
Guardiola had protected his Twitter account by Monday night.
His tweets had included “Allez Madrid” and “Fuck Catalans”.
