Meanwhile his team-mates flew off to the USA to go on tour
Douglas Pereira has headed to Istanbul to be presented as a new Sivasspor player, where he has been loaned this season. Douglas caught his flight on Tuesday heading east, almost exactly at the same time as Barcelona flew to the USA for their pre-season tour.
His experiences at Gijon and Benfica on loan did not serve him well and he's been sent away again. At the end of this season his Barcelona contract will end and he will be free to go.
