Sylvinho is leaving Barcelona after the European champions failed to offer the Brazilian international defender a new contract.
“FC Barcelona have informed Sylvio Mendes Campos ?Sylvinho’ that his contract will not be extended when it ends on 30th June,” the Spanish league and cup winners announced on their website.
“FC Barcelona would like to publicly acknowledge and thank Sylvinho for his contribution and commitment over the last five seasons, during which he has won two Champions League trophies, three Spanish leagues, one Kings Cup and two Spanish Super Cups.”
The 35-year-old former Arsenal player joined Barcelona from Celta Vigo in 2004.
His last appearance for Barca came in the Champions League final victory against Manchester United in Rome a week ago.
