Now, he looks set to join Turkish side Fenerbahce. Mathieu has offers from various clubs, but reports in the Turkish press say his destination is already agreed. 

Manchetser City midfielder Samir Nasri, who was on loan at Sevilla last season, is also set to join Fenerbahce this summer, according to the reports. 

Newspaper Fanatik report there is already agreement between Mathieu and Fenerbahce, even though the defender also has offers from various other European clubs 

Olypiacos looked set to be his final destination and there was also contact with Sporting Lisbon and Marseille. 

Mathieu has one year to run on his contract at Barça, who he joined from Valencia in 2014, but is likely to be allowed to leave for cheap as the Catalan club look to free up space on their wage bill.
