As it advanced 'Sportive World', Maribel Meléndez, corporate director of the club and a fundamental piece in the finance of the Espai Barça, would be in process of desvincularse of the institution of the City Condal in the next days.

According to the referred source, Meléndez would abandon his charge four months before it finalise the season, alleging "personal reasons". In this sense, this would be the third significant drop in the Espai Barça, remembering the exits of the director Jordi Llauradó (the one who renounced to his attributions in January of 2023 and resigned of the charge in June of 2023) and of Ramón Ramírez, director of heritage (the one who also left the club in August of 2023).
