Barcelona insisted they "acted properly" after Brazilian forward Gio made accusations of "abusive behaviour" in regards to her time at the club on Tuesday.
The 18-year-old, also known as Giovana Queiroz, joined Barcelona in July 2020 and is currently on loan at fellow Spanish club Levante. Gio is viewed as one of the best youngsters in the women's game and has already won five senior caps for Brazil.
But she's yet to make a first-team appearance for Barcelona and believes she was mistreated after going away with her national side. Gio was also eligible to play for Spain and the US after representing both countries at U17 level.
