The former Chelsea left-back joined Barca two years ago and played 45 times for them.

In a club statement, the LaLiga side said: "We would like to place on record their appreciation for his commitment and dedication, and wish him all the best and every success in the future."

Barcelona then went on to say that Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo were returning to their parent clubs Atletico Madrid and Manchester City respectively.

Both spent the 2023/24 campaign on loan at the Nou Camp..

But bizarrely, Barca swiftly back tracked and deleted the names of the Portuguese duo, with their futures now unclear.

And in a huge twist, Felix and Cancelo are reportedly in talks over staying into the Hansi Flick era.

Both players are represented by super agent Jorge Mendes.

Meanwhile, Barcelona fans are unsure what is going on.

One said: "I can’t believe that we can’t even get a departure announcement right."

Another reacted: "Unserious club."

A third added: "What on Earth is going on?"

More speculated: "Fact that the club deleted both goodbyes to Felix and Cancelo, yet kept Alonso’s is a pretty clear indication that they’ll be back. Or at least we’re negotiating to bring them back."
