ERIC ABIDAL SET TO RETIRE AND RETURN TO BARCELONA AS AMBASSADOR
Eric Abidal may be nearing the end of his illustrious playing career. According to RMC, the 35-year-old French defender is expected to hang up his boots before the end of the year, cutting short his contract with Olympiakos.
The former Barcelona player is reportedly set to return to the Catalan club—not as a player, but in an ambassadorial role. The announcement could be made official on December 17, during a tribute ceremony planned on the sidelines of the Olympiakos vs. Panionios match.
Abidal, who won numerous trophies with Barça and famously overcame a liver transplant to return to professional football, remains a respected figure both in France and Spain. His potential return to the Blaugrana family would mark a fitting transition into a new chapter of his football journey.
