From FC Barcelona to Vila Nova: the abrupt departure of Gustavo Maia becomes official

That period of 'financial excesses' today translates in the difficulty to inscribe some signings and renewals in this campaign, been due to the adjusted of the 'Fair Play' financial. One of the last traces that remained of this period of despropósitos economic was the Brazilian Gustavo Maia, to the that the combined Barcelona terminated recently his agreement with the club so that it continue his career in the Vila Nova of the second Brazilian division.

In that period of bonanza culé, the cast of the Catalan capital paid the 'desorbitada' figure of 4,5 million euros to the São Paulo to do with the services of the player of 19 years. When it arrived to the City Condal, the technicians of the inferior categories noticed that something did not go well with the player. The profile had to answer to a forward 'small and ratonil', habilidoso for the desborde and the ending, such attributes never emerged in the native of Brasilia. After three seasons in the club, without debuting in the first team and playing grieve eight parties with the filial, the player finished leaving with more penalty that glory.

Gustavo Maia never attained to feel comfortable in the City Condal

It was an investment without 'feet neither head' that never attained to settle in the discipline of the Barça Atlètic. It yielded him in several opportunities, first to the Inter of Carry Cheerful until December of 2022 and afterwards to the filial of Valencia CF in the second RFEF until this summer of 2023. Although it contested some parties in the lower division of the combined 'blanquinegro', 17 to be precise, did not attain to convince to the technician Miguel Ángel Angulo so that it asked his incorporation for the next campaign.
