Exclusive: Aleix Vidal's latest issue at FC Barcelona

The defender must now surely leave FC Barcelona after this latest issue with Luis Enrique 

Aleix Vidal's situation at Barcelona is unsustainable and what's worse is his relationship with Luis Enrique. The former Sevilla man is doing nothing to lower the tension.

On Monday there was an episode which sums up the current situation. The full-back was going to be put in the squad for the Catalan Super Cup to be played on Tuesday night against Espanyol. However in the end Lucho had to strike him from the list, because of supposed muscle pain in his right leg adductor. Supposed, because during the training session he trained normally and in no moment complained about anything. But at the end he went to a physio to claim he noted a slight pain in the right leg.

From there it snowballed, between disbelief and astonishment, until Luis Enrique heard the story. He was not surprised at all, just very disappointed for the player's attitude. Their relationship is totally broken. In fact, it would not be a surprise if he no longer calls him into the squad at all - Vidal was on the bench against Valencia. A problem for Vidal is that he cannot count on the support of his team-mates either, having snubbed them at Luis Suarez's Golden Boot dinner last Thursday.

Aleix Vidal's stock has sunk. And so if Barcelona loan him out or sell him, as seems the best solutions, they will be forced to recall they shelled out 17 million for him to Sevilla.
