Joan Laporta, president of FC Barcelona, explained that he wants to “go back to being calm and win a Sextete”, in reference to the moments experienced during his first term at the helm of the Barça club.
“We will live that again. I want to reposition Barça as a world reference in football, with projects that internationalize the club we will achieve it”, added Laporta before the journalist Toni Aira, within the framework of the Stellar Moments cycle of conversations, organized by The New Barcelona Post, at Casa SEAT Barcelona.
After the act, before the media present, he also explained that the arrival and departure of players this summer is conditioned economic levers, and who are now working on the sale of the second tranche of 15% of television rights, after agreeing to sell the first 10% with Sixth Street.
“Thanks to this, we will be able to enter into the dynamic of signing players so that they can be registered and give an exit to the players who do not count for the coach”, said Laporta.
Asked if it is possible for them to arrive at Barça this summer Robert Lewandowski, Ju les Koundé and Bernardo Silva, Laporta preferred not to name names. According to what he stated, “it would be a mistake to send messages to the market”, but he added that work is being done to have a more competitive team.
On the other hand, Laporta made an indirect reference to former candidate Víctor Font, who returned to the public scene last week with a press conference: “There is no business school that teaches how to manage a football club. You can do a lot of theory, but you don’t know what it is until you start doing it”.
Already on a personal level, Laporta assured that when he ceases to be president of Barça this time he will not get involved in politics. Its purpose is to “go around the world”.
