If all goes as planned, Eric Abidal will return to FC Barcelona for 2015

Despite conflicting rumors, Radio Monte Carlo announced on Friday that the French defender is negotiating the termination of his contract with his club, which was set to expire anyway on June 30, 2015. The former player has decided he will hang up his boots at Olympiacos and take an upstairs role at Barça.

He is will take office at the Cituat Esportiva and start at Barcelona in January 2015, working as an executive director in the club’s schools around the world. Abidal is expected to announce the decision shortly. 

He will likely say goodbye to European football in the game the Greek side plays against Malmo, before his final match ever being against Panionios in the last game before the winter break, on December 17. 

Abidal’s family lives in Barcelona with his girls enrolled in a school uptown. He will come home for Christmas and the ceremony of the kings, before starting work at the club.

He has already spoken to president Josep Maria Bartomeu, who has defined his work involving traveling to different schools around the world. [x]
