• Barcelona. The intrahistory of Heurtel's "high treason": abandoned in a parking lot, at night and without a taxi, after the interest of Real Madrid

Two weeks after the

Istanbul

controversy

, Barcelona and Thomas Heurtel have reached the

final chapter

of their telenovela.

At least for now.

A story that began in a

parking lot in Istanbul

where the Catalan club, in the voice of

Nacho Rodríguez

, prohibited the French from getting on the bus that took the staff to the airport, leaving him without transport back to Spain.

The controversy reached every corner of European basketball, including the

NBA

, and served to accelerate the procedures for the disagreement between the Catalans and the one who was

MVP of his last two titles

.

Jasikevicius

He did not love him and the Blaugrana leadership exploded upon learning of Madrid's interest.

They accused their former star of maneuvering to land on the eternal rival.

"

It is high treason

," Rodríguez told his player.

They have banned him from playing in any Spanish team and having failed to find a continental destination, the transfer period has closed and Heurtel will continue to be linked to the club until the end of his contract this summer, he will

train with the subsidiary

, as Tyrese Rice did, and He will not play a single minute more for Barça.

They have been days of

many silences and the occasional isolated call

.

After the incident in Istanbul, in which Barça claimed to have left all the comforts to return on their own, relations between Heurtel and the club have been void.

His companions have not helped the reconciliation either and have remained on the sidelines.

Only Oriola, captain and roommate of the French, spoke of it: "It

tastes bad, but it is a decision of the club

, which is above players, managers and coaches," he declared.

The white condition

In those conversations between agents and representatives of Barcelona there was a single condition for the termination of the contract and the settlement of the million euros that he still has to collect: "

They won't let him play for Madrid,

" says his circle close to this newspaper.

After being abandoned in Turkey, the player began to see a single exit, a somewhat vindictive one but the best he had on the table at a sporting level: "

He only wants to play for Madrid

."

Wearing white was already his dream in 2016, when he was close to signing, and it still is now.

That is why this summer, when he is free to choose a team again, his path will once again head in one direction: playing for Real Madrid.

Meanwhile, the contract that unites him with Barça obliges the Catalan club to offer him a way to stay in shape,

receiving his full salary

, yes.

And although the white option has been closed until summer, the French and the Catalans could end their contract if they agree so that the player can sign for a new club that does not play in the Euroleague.

Westermann arrives, with the same agent

A situation that is not ruled out at Barça either, with accounts in red after the announcement of the signing of

Leo Westermann

, Heurtel's replacement who curiously has the same agent as him, Misko Raznatovic.

The arrival of the former Fenerbahce was signed at the end of December, but Barça has not made it official until now to try to modify the conditions of the agreement.

They have not been able to release salary, so the culé technical direction has been

forced to renegotiate Westermann's salary

to balance the accounts of this season.

The player, who had already left his old team, has agreed to vary his salary payments to help his new club.

In Barcelona he will meet again with Jasikevicius, who has already trained him at Zalgiris and who will use him to give Nick Calathes rest.

Meanwhile,

Heurtel thinks about taking Barcelona to court.
