Barcelona technical director confirms Sandro will leave this summer
Barcelona technical director Robert Fernandez has confirmed that Sandro Ramirez will leave in the summer.
Barca have not exercised the option to offer Sandro a new contract in order to allow the 20-year-old forward to join another club on a free transfer.
Sandro made 24 appearances this season to help Barcelona win the league and cup double.
"Last summer Sandro had an offer to leave," Fernandez said. "We evaluated at that time the situation we had as we could not sign players [due to a FIFA ban] and he made an effort to stay with us. We are very thankful for that.
"But there was a date, May 1, that we could have extended his contract another year, but after the way he has behaved, we believed it was better to open the door for him to explore other opportunities."
Barca's transfer ban, imposed by FIFA for breaking rules regarding the signing of underage players, ended this year.
