Spanish vice-champions "Barcelona" announced on their official website that defender Seydou Keita is leaving the club, taking advantage of a clause in his contract to leave if he played less than 50 percent of the team's matches during the season.
It is expected that the 32-year-old player from the Mali national team will sign a contract with Dalian "Aerbin" on Sunday.
In 2008, S. Keita was bought from "Sevilla" team for 14 million euros and scored 22 goals in 168 matches for the Catalan team.
