"We are in front of the more important and emblematic project of the club in the next years, for the next generations, and have to do it very well. It is necessary to decide if we can follow playing in the Camp Nou during the years that last the works or leave us to another stadium", expressed Joan Laporta, candidate to the presidential of the FC Barcelona, in allusion to the remodelings to the Camp Nou that it wants to promote in his hypothetical second management at the head of the Barça.

Between the plans, also appears a change of name to the mythical Barcelona field. Laporta Is opened to sell the naming right of the stadium, what would suppose a light change: Rakuten Camp Nou. Juli Guiu would be the attendant to manage this subject, that is taken very seriously by the ex president of the FC Barcelona. This last explained to the journalist Víctor Bad, that want to be very opened in relation with the subject of the naming rights, in the sense that no only will work to put a mark that give name to the Espai Barça, but they pose can have a lot of sponsors that contribute to the entity.

The difficulties of Laporta go through to give him competition to Florentino Pérez and his new Santiago Bernabéu, whose works already go quite advanced. It expects that the house of the madridistas was smart around the middle of 2022. In Can Barça, are conscious that also have to set up to give him another face to the Camp Nou, although for the moment the financial and sportive subject is the most important.

"There are some opponents that already are very put in the renewal of his stadiums and we committed the error of desestimar the project that presented in his day. It is necessary to accept it, but now treats of a need of prime importance", resolved Laporta, the one who cleared that it will not take a definite decision "until knowing the audit and the due dilligence on the Espai Barça".

Taking out accounts

"They said us that they would not do our project by expensive... And they were 230 million euros. And they said that in two years would achieve the agreement signed with the city council... By what know after ten years still do not have it", added, in a clear criticism to the past management.

"Now the budget is of 825 million euros, but still is not definite. There is an agreement with Goldman Sachs by this quantity to give back in 30 years and that has to ratify in Assembly. It does not seem us badly this credit by the form in that it is posed, but think that has remained short and that the Espai Barça will cost more", estimated.
