Barcelona have rescinded the contract for Sergi Guardiola just hours after announcing his arrival following a series of offensive tweets that went viral.
The European and world champions announced that the 24-year-old, along with young midfielder Xemi and Moises Delgado, had agreed deals to join Gerard Lopez's Barca B team earlier on Monday.
A series of tweets posted by Guardiola from two years ago, including one that read 'Hala Madrid, f*** Catalonia' subsequently became prevalent across social media and Barca chose to act just four hours after announcing his arrival.
"Barcelona has decided to rescind the contract agreed with the player Sergi Guardiola, who was also to join Barcelona B, after checking that he had published offensive tweets against Barcelona and Catalonia," a statement read.
