Puyol to leave Barca at the end of the season

Barcelona captain Carles Puyol has announced he will be leaving the
Spanish champions at the end of the season.
The 35-year-old Spain international had a contract with Barça
until 2016 but has reached an agreement with the club to rescind the
final two years of the deal.
Puyol, who has spent his entire career at Barcelona and made his
first-team debut in 1999, made the announcement at a press conference
on Tuesday afternoon.
“I want to announce that at the end of the season I will no longer be a
Barcelona player,” he said. “There are three months of the season left
and I will not give up. I will help the team.”
The defender, who only signed his contract extension with Barça a
year ago, has seen his career disrupted by injuries. In his career he has
suffered a total of 36 injuries in 15 campaigns with the first team, eight
of which have been knee problems.
This season he has been limited to just five appearances in Spanish La
Liga, one in the UEFA Champions League and six in the Copa del
Rey.
He said: “After two recent surgeries, it has become harder for me to
recover the level that I demand of myself and that I need to be at to
play here.”
