Sylvinho to leave Barca

Sylvinho to leave Barca
Brazilian defender Sylvinho is set to leave Barcelona after the European champions decided not to renew his contract at the end of the month.

The 35-year-old has been at Barca for five years after previous spells with Arsenal and latterly Celta Vigo.

In his time with the Catalans, he helped them lift two UEFA Champions League trophies, three league titles and one King's Cup.

Sylvinho started last week's UEFA Champions League final win over Manchester United as first-choice left-back Eric Abidal was suspended.

The veteran - who has been linked with Celtic in the past - made 19 starts and eight substitute appearances this season, scoring one goal.
