According to Mundo Deportivo, Thomas Heurtel’s return to FC Barcelona has been halted after a last-minute decision by president Joan Laporta. The French player, traveling with his family from Shenzen to Barcelona to sign his contract and undergo a medical examination, was informed of the unexpected turn of events upon landing in the city.
The decision appears to have been influenced by fans’ negative reactions on social media, rejecting Heurtel’s signing due to his controversial departure from the club in 2019. At the time, he was left stranded at Istanbul Airport after it was revealed he was negotiating with Real Madrid behind Barcelona’s back.
The initial agreement aimed to cover Raul Neto’s absence following the team’s poor performance this season. However, the club’s reversal reflects a climate of uncertainty and improvisation in handling such situations. Heurtel remains in a hotel in Barcelona, awaiting a resolution.
