🎙️Laporta speaking with @rac1

🗣️:"I am busy, not worried. This situation can still be reversed and we will not throw in the towel. If we win in Vitoria we will still be able to fight for LaLiga. I found out about Xavi's goodbye when I went down to the locker room after the Villarreal game. I listened to him carefully because Xavi "He is an honest person and someone who loves Barça. I saw that he had reflected on it, that he had a lot of pressure on him. He thought it was the best thing to free the players from the pressure, to free himself and that it was the best thing for the club."Image
🎙️Laporta on next coach

🗣️:"This is in Deco's hands, at this moment I fully trust Xavi until the end of the season. We all have to participate in this formula and the best way to participate is by believing."
🎙️Laporta on FFP

🗣️:"Yes, if we comply with the 'fair play', that stage ends. It is planned that it will be achieved without the need to sell players. When we arrived, we had 500 million losses, and 1,500 million in debt. If last year we already made profits and We responded with our own funds with a significant amount, and we restructured the debt, now we are on the right path. We have reduced debt with the League from 1,850 million to 652 million, we have reduced the sports wage bill by 172 million. To have fair play we have to have results positives, which we had thanks to the levers, it is true, and now we will have reduced the saliary mass, which is what LaLiga allows us."
🎙️Laporta on coach

🗣️:"I have not spoken with any coach, this job is Deco's. The options are limited, but this must be asked of Deco. Márquez is not ruled out because he is doing a very good job. He is training at home, and he knows the players who are being trained, and that is an asset that Rafa has. The club has prepared the emergency plan with the reserve team coach. I do not regret the departure of García de Pimienta, who is a great coach and has been trained at home, but I don't regret it, Rafa is having a great stage"
🎙️Laporta on budget

🗣️:"More sponsors arrive, which are arriving, sale of players, and the Barça Vision thing is somewhat biased. Líbero paid 20 million of the 60, but they did not pay the 40 when it was due, which was before the end of the year, and the "We have sued, but that does not mean that we do not have 'fair play', because we are reducing the entity's general expenses by 22%. We are working very well."
🎙️Laporta on espai barca

🗣️:"It is fundamental for the viability of the club as it is now. If there are no uncertainties, at the end of the year we will play again at the Spotify Camp Nou. We do not set a date, but it will be at the end of the year. We are 208 million in sponsorship, "It's a historic amount."
🎙️Laporta on "Barça model"

🗣️:"The associative model is only Barça's and I am a guarantor that Barça will not be a SAD. Investors highly value this feeling of the members, it is something unique. We also do not want to be a mixed thing like Bayern, why do we have to have companies, if we already have them. We can make them participate in the line of business, without being inside the club. Bayern for me is a wrong model, why do we have to have companies that have 20 or 30% of the club, the "club belongs to the members"
🎙️Laporta on Nike

🗣️:"We have a situation that is not desirable, because they do not replace our material, and because competitors pay us double what Nike pays us. To terminate, is what we are considering. We have been there for 20 or so years, but at the moment difficult, Nike has not shown up. As soon as we told them that the market pays us much more, they made an effort, and we thank them, but it is not enough. There are three options: continue with Nike, take what the market offers us market and a third way would be to do it ourselves, through BLM. We already make our own clothes and we do not rule out this option, although there are safer options, which is what the market gives us. We have to have e-commerce, not the brand that pays us. All with absolute respect for Nike."
🎙️Laporta on Negreira case

🗣️:"I have no idea about Mr. that Negreira did not have any decision in the referees. I am sure that Barça will be acquitted. It is a campaign orchestrated, not only by Madrid, but also by LaLiga, in which I am still in. With the Super League the aim is to be able to compete with the State Clubs, we are going bankrupt. I agree that in some the management has not been adequate, but even so, we do not receive enough."
🎙️Laporta on madrid

🗣️:"Madrid is not behaving well. Judge Joaquín Aguirre, at the request of Real Madrid, has extended the investigation period. Before the end of the year, one of those appearing, in this case Real Madrid, who for 70 "The presidents of the referees have controlled it for years, we do not accept it. I have not spoken with Florentino since the Super Cup, we do not talk about this yet because it did not happen, we do talk about the Super League."
🎙️Laporta on superleague

🗣️:"If it is not from 2024-25, it will be in 2025-26, if not, I will rethink everything. For me, the fact that the English do not come makes me uncomfortable. You make a proposal to a club that just for participating , you tell him that he will win 100 million, that that cannot be won even by winning the Champions League. Barça, Madrid, Inter, Milan, Naples, Rome, Marseille, three Dutch teams, Bruges and Anderlecht. There are 16 or 18 teams... The Cup In Europe in 1955, very few clubs participated and then it became the competition par excellence in Europe. I imagine it in a first phase like this, and then integrated. If we want to organize the League in 2025, it is because the English are for the work of participate because it represents a qualitative leap in the survival of the world of football.
🎙️Laporta on bergvall

🗣️:"He is a great player, Deco has been following him for a long time. Tottenham has made him an offer with much more money. Our proposal is to play in the reserve team with the dynamics of the first team, but we are not going to make Tottenham's financial offer ".
🎙️Laporta on joao's

🗣️:"Deco is working on it"
🎙️Laporta on non-transferables

🗣️:"Today, they are all non-transferable. At the end of the course, we will see, but today they are all non-transferable, we are not giving up the League and we want to fight for the Champions League"
🎙️Laporta on Messi' s tribute

🗣️:"It will be when the Messi want"

🎙️Laporta on pep

🗣️:"He has a contract and he fulfills the contracts"
🎙️Laporta on executives

🗣️:"We have some TOP executives, with an executive president, which is me, and with executives with executive decisions, such as the marketing vice president, or the social vice president. It is working. We have updated the census, today we have 130,000 regularized members, of which 145,000 that we were. All decisions have been made at the level of efficiency and consensus."
🎙️Laporta on montjuic's numbers

🗣️:"The numbers are not coming out. We have record entries, but the capacity is half of the Camp Nou. The fans are giving all their support and more, the visibility is what it is, it is not the most suitable field for the football spectacle, but ticketing is generating what it can generate and what is missing we are achieving with new sponsors, which we have already said that we are at 208 million, plus the Palau, which does not stop."
🎙️Laporta on role of Alejandro Echeverria in the club

🗣️: He doesn't get paid. He's my brother-in-law and a person I trust very much. He has a great relationship with many players. He doesn't form a part of the sporting administration which is made up of Deco, Bojan and Masip."
🎙️Laporta on Alexia's renewal

🗣️:"We want her to renew. She also wants to stay and we want her to stay within the parameters and capacity of the club. It is a section in which we have increased the budget."

🎙️| Joan Laporta on TV3.

🗣️ "One of the conditions of the CVC deal was that Tebas would stay, first for fifteen years and then for eight and his salary would double."
🎙️| Laporta continues..

🗣️ "They [La Liga] told us that if we signed the CVC seal they'd increase our FFP by 15%, and that if we didn't sign it we couldn't sign players or they would make it more difficult for us. This is in the courts. We said no and they put the cross on us."
🎙️| Laporta continues..

🗣️ "You conclude that Catalonia may be within the state, but even so, some cannot digest the elements that define our Catalan identity. They cannot digest that one of the elements of Catalan identity is Barça and are trying everything to take it."

🎙️| Xavi in interview with MD...

🗣️: "I know that Leo is going to help us if he decides to come, but in the end I think we have to leave him a little alone. Regarding the football issue, it depends on him. For me there are no doubts. If Leo decides to come, the doors are open." Image
🎙️Xavi continues...

🗣: "The contractual issue is no longer my concern. They tell me it's under control. From coming to not coming, the rest of the transfer planning for me does not change anything at all."
🎙️| Xavi continues...

🗣️: "If Leo does not come, a player of that profile would be needed. Bernardo? He would be wonderful but it is very difficult. Kimmich is super top and his understanding of the game is fantastic, if the door is open there must be negotiation."

🗣️: "For me, Vinicius Jr is the best in one-v-ones today. I try to concentrate and believe in my work and my potential. The most important thing (when playing against him) is to concentrate because he’s a player who runs for the whole 90 minutes."
