The FC Barcelona has several fronts open for the coming months, especially in the institutional sphere, although it does not lose sight of its sporting aspirations in League, Copa del Rey and Champions. Meanwhile, in an interview with Betevé, Joan Laporta, candidate for the presidency of the culés, has taken stock of the present in key blaugrana. “I am concerned that Barça no longer has a president because Messi’s situation has to be resolved urgently. Eric Garcia’s situation would have already been solved”, has stated.

Continuing with the specific case of Lionel Messi (33 years old), he’s been pretty straightforward about it. “It generates much more income than it costs. It is urgent to face its renewal because it is a reference player that benefits us in every way: sports, economic, sponsors … For that reason, I want to win the elections to do the audit and see the economic possibilities of Barça to make a proposal. As it is delayed, it becomes more and more complicated, but I’m sure he wants to stay. He will not be anywhere better than at Barça if I am president and he knows it. Therefore, it is a question of making him a proposal with seriousness that convinces him “, has pointed out.
The delicate institutional situation
Regarding the criticism received by Victor Font, has stated that “I left the best legacy that could be left in a football club and, surely, the best legacy in history. A financially solid club, very powerful in terms of sport and an organized club, a worldwide reference. I am very proud of the results of my management. Sportingly, I also left it at a level that has continued until today “. And he has expressed himself on the impact of the coronavirus on Barça and Real Madrid. “At the level of the fall in income from the concept of income in the stadium, it is very similar and the two clubs are very indebted. Both are waiting for the coronavirus to end so that people return to the stadium”Laporta has said.
Likewise, he has not given too many clues about the future of Ronald Koeman and various members of the FC Barcelona squad. “He is a Barça great, he has a contract, and he has the margin that results and the game give. If I win, I will go see him and motivate him to the maximum, just like the players. I have the experience and in the world of football, I know all of them. Obviously, they make proposals that could be interesting, but the first thing I want to do is see what we have and if it can be improved, do it “, it is finished.
