Rivaldo to leave Barcelona
BARCELONA, July 21: Barcelona and Rivaldo have reached an agreement to rescind the Brazilian’s contract, the Catalan club announced on their website on Sunday.
“Both parties believe that this decision comes in their best interests,” the statement read.
Rivaldo, who had one more season to run on his contract, joined Barcelona from Deportivo Coruna in 1997 and helped the club to the Spanish league title in his first two seasons.
His form dipped last year as he struggled to overcome a knee injury but the 30-year-old former World Player of the Year went on to score five goals in the World Cup to help Brazil to the title.—Reuters
