🎙️| Joan Laporta in an interview with @rac1

🗣️: "I had the hope, although it was a point of illusion, that Messi would say he was ready to play for free. I would have liked that, But we can't make such a request to a player of Leo's level." Image
@rac1 🎙️| Joan Laporta continues on Messi

🗣️: "We will never know if PSG's offer was made before. Everything indicates that yes. During the negotiations, everyone knew that he had a very powerful offer." #FCB
@rac1 🎙️| Joan Laporta on Espai Barca

🗣️: "We are considering several possibilities, but the one that is most likely is to play at the Johan Cruyff Stadium. We are thinking of expanding it. It would be just one season at most. It would have a capacity of 50,000 members." #FCB
@rac1 🎙️| Joan Laporta on Espai Barca

🗣️: "The project for the new Camp Nou says it will last 3 years and I estimate up to 4. It will fit 110,000 people. [Will it have a name with a sponsor?] Yes, we will have to optimize all the resources." #FCB
@rac1 🎙️| Joan Laporta on Espai Barca

🗣️: "For the Barcelona city it can have an impact like the Olympic Games. We have become a world reference for futuristic leisure and entertainment." #FCB
@rac1 🎙️| Joan Laporta on Ronald Koeman

🗣️: "At no point did I say I would not follow Koeman. Our coach is Koeman. I’m with Koeman until the end. And he knows it." #FCB
@rac1 🎙️| Joan Laporta continues

🗣️: "Koeman is a Catalan like all of us, Barça loves him, he is a myth of Barcelona, he decided to come and train in a difficult situation. I needed to know if he trusted this team and he told me yes. It was fair to give him the margin of confidence."

🗣️: "The CVC operation, as planned , was the candy that the president of the League gave us because we thought we would have 'fair play' financial, but it was unfeasible" #FCB

🎙VP Rafael Yuste in an interview with @mundodeportivo.

🗣 "Koeman continues with a basic principle of believing in the person who has been since we arrived, of believing in what Koeman tells us, who is the one who runs the day-to-day of the squad, along with Alemany and me." Image
@mundodeportivo 🎙Rafael Yuste continues..

🗣 "We listen to the messages that Ronald sends us about how the team is doing, its situation and based on what he tells us, the executives advise us to make the best decisions."
@mundodeportivo 🎙Rafael Yuste on bad results, doubts over Koeman and then things changing.

🗣 "We come from a situation of accounting failure, as our CEO explained the other day. We find ourselves in a club still immersed in an economic crisis."

🔄 (STERLING): If Ousmane Dembélé is sold or he doesn't renew his contract, Barça want to sign a player with a similar profile and this opens the door to Raheem Sterling's possible arrival in the January transfer window.

@ferrancorreas • Mateu Alemany was already in contact with Manchester City in the summer, becoming interested in Sterling & some others.

• And the contacts, taking advantage of the good relationship between the clubs, have continued.

@ferrancorreas • Pep Guardiola, Manchester City's coach, won't be against Sterling's depature.

• The player, who doesn't want to renew his contract with MCI [ends in 2023], would be delighted to join Barcelona.

✍ (PEDRI): Pedri's contract renewal is in the final stages.

• There is already an economic agreement and talks will continue this coming week to agree on the durability and seal it.
#FCB 🇪🇸

Via (🟢): @martinezferran [md] Image
@martinezferran ❗Barça want a 5-year deal but Pedri's agent wants a shorter deal. A 3+2 years contract isn't ruled out.

• Pedri's intention is to make a career at Barça and the duration is purely the term for the renewal of the conditions.
#FCB 🇪🇸

Via (🟢): @martinezferran [md]
@martinezferran ❗The club, for their part, doesn't see it as a problem and they have valid reasons too.

• Pedri's release clause of €400m is likely to be maintained but what Barça understand is that his contract has to be adapted to his prominence.

❗Barça will ask for up to €1,500 m for Espai Barça and refinance bonds for €140m.

• The club considers that the budget designed by the previous board for the project is unrealistic. #FCB

Via: @2Playbook Image
@2Playbook • The new Camp Nou can cost between €800m and €950m.

• Palau Blaugrana will cost around €300m or €400m and then they must add the Campus.

• Hence, the authorization that they will request from the assembly is for a maximum of €1,500m. #FCB

Via: @2Playbook
@2Playbook • The executive has assured that the interest of investors is evident, since in the last placement directed by Goldman Sachs they received requests for €900m, almost double what was intended to be achieved. #FCB

#Messi #LM7 Image
@francefootball Lionel Messi: "Honestly, I wasn't expecting it. I went back to prepare for the pre-season after the extra holidays that Koeman had gifted me. I had the idea of ​​signing a contract and going back to training."
@francefootball Messi: "I thought everything was done and the only thing missing was my signature, but when I arrived in Barcelona they told me that it was not possible, that I can't stay and I had to find another club, because Barcelona no longer had the money to renew me."

Live thread for the press conference where Ferran Reverter (Barça CEO) will show the results of the due diligence made about the situation left by the former board . #fcb

Read more here ⤵️
Reverter: The thing that we will do today is an exercise in transparency that is rarely done in a sports club. The board promised in the campaign to explain to the members the numbers of what has happened these years.
Reverter: Some of you will think that it took a long time. you are right. 90 days after the last board left the emails were deleted. The directors did not have club computers but personal ones where the emails were redirected. The documentation has been hard to find.
