The closing of the recent summer transfer market is now behind us, and Víctor Font He has been quite openly critical of the management of the current president of FC Barcelona, Joan Laporta. For the head of the group ‘Sí al futur’, and former candidate, Barcelona needs a change as soon as possible to be able to redirect the economic situation that the club is currently experiencing and has requested the advancement of the presidential elections to next June 2025, as well as completely ruling out the presentation of a motion of censure that he has reserved for moments when the limits are crossed.
Only Hansi Flick approves
For Font, the only thing that does not worry him at all They are the German technical director, Hansi Flick, and the current squad of the Barcelona club.
Victor Font believes that Barça is a sustainable club with the potential “capable of generating profits” to repay the debt but that it is being poorly managed by the current board, “they treat him like a family” and that he is “blocked.” He has made it absolutely clear that Barça Studios is “a scam”, which he has repeated on several occasions, and is quite clear that the debt must first be reduced in order to finally obtain the necessary funds. And he stressed that a 15-year contract with Nike is quite “unviable”. “In three years Madrid could improve it without a doubt. It is bread for today, hunger for tomorrow.”
The businessman stressed that “there are fewer and fewer effective people on the board.” “When you talk about management, it ends up as a propaganda story, with promises that are not kept. All of this is unacceptable, because if we want to demand anything as culés, it is to be told the truth.”
Font insists that Barcelona are far from being financially saved, something that Laporta has confirmed personally. “We cannot say that the club has been saved financially. If we don’t achieve two things: resolve the issue of the Barça Studios quota and show Barcelona fans that the club can be sustainable again with a debt of 1.3 billion euros.”
Font always remained quite critical from beginning to end. “Three years in office, three sports directors, three coaches, “We have made thirty signings and only eight are in the squad. We started the market saying that the priority is a defender and a pivot. We signed Olmo and we said that Gündo left for sporting reasons. Why are we deceiving people?”, something that he has asked himself on more than one occasion and he has taken the opportunity to reflect on “the Joaos, and we don’t sign them. We say in the first person that we can sign Nico Williams and we say that we can’t talk about players from another club.”
Once again Vitor Roque on the table
And what about the Victor Roque issue? “We are told that he and Endrick were the best talents in Brazil, we paid 39 plus 30 when we had Marc Guiu. He has played two games. Someone should explain the case of Vitor Roque, let us see the reports. It is a sporting and economic disaster and we have done the player a disservice.”
