The president of FC Barcelona took advantage of the national team break to grant an interview to 'RAC1' in which he spoke about the 'soap operas' that the club must resolve in the coming weeks to make the 2022-23 squad
Joan Laporta is used to to be very direct in his interviews and, in this opportunity, was not the exception. The mandator culé manifested his optimism regarding the renewals of Gavi and Araújo, which have demorado more than the expected, as well as his posture on the 'case Dembélé' and the possibility to recover to Leo Messi in the summer, a rumour that lit the social networks and the Spanish means in the last hours.
Laporta No unseen his admiration and respect to the Argentinian, but considers that his return in this moment is not neither in the plans of the club neither of the today player of Paris Saint-Germain. "I have not received any message neither of Leo neither of his surroundings in this direction. In this moment, we do not pose us his return. We are building a young team that begins to work. Leo is Leo, is the best player of the world, but do not contemplate his turn. It would not be a step to backwards", sentenced on the subject.
A bit more 'spicy' was his message regarding the renewal of Ousmane Dembélé, forward that lives a big moment in the Barça in spite of his complicated contractual situation. "We did him a proposal and did not accept it. It falls us well, it likes us and we see him well. If we arrive to an agreement, will be inside the limits salariales that have established", said Laporta, the one who took advantage of to throw a 'dart' to Moussa Sissokkó, agent of the '7': "I say It with respect, but the representative is a box of surprises. It felt dizzy us a bit", it ensured the maximum leader blaugrana, leaving clear that if the negotiations with 'Dembouz' have not arrived to good term has been largely by the representative Frenchman.
In this sense, Laporta compared the situation of Ousmane with the one of Sergi Roberto, the one who also culminates agreement in June. "Had the opportunity to renew to principle of this season, when several players recessed the wage. I did not understand why it did not accept. The moment was then. Now we are changing the staff, want to improve it. Sergi Roberto comes of injury, is not prepared to play", sentenced the president, leaving clear the posture of the directive regarding the case of the canterano.
The president, optimistic with Gavi and Araújo
In spite of the demora in the negotiations, Laporta trusts can close the renewals of Gavi and Araújo, two key players for the sportive project that heads Xavi Hernández. "The negotiations go well. For us they are importantísimos and they want to continue. We will arrive to an agreement. I take advantage of to say that the players will have to understand that our economic situation is the one who is", expressed the president, the one who besides stood out the work of the míster of Terrassa in his first four months in the bench culé.
"Xavi Is doing it fantastically. We play to what want to and in what we believe. In the principle of the season suffered. Everything has a process, but Xavi has motivated to the footballers and has implanted his style. The signings have adapted fast. We are in the good way", puntualizó the mandator, the one who did not lose the opportunity to stand out the goleada in the last Classical. "The 0-4 taught us that we go by the good way, but that still lacking. The exhibition was spectacular, could have fallen more goals. We wanted to give back the joy to the barcelonismo and are doing it", sentenced.
The Superliga and the administrative future of the Barça
Another point that could not be missing in his interview with 'RAC1' was the Superliga, a project that, for the time being, seems allocated to fracasar. "The project finds in the courts, but is evolving. It will be opened, will have a format of competition very attractive... It could go out a Champions improved. I think that will finish with a dialogue with the UEFA; I want to do it like this", it ensured Laporta, adding that the clubs (Madrid, Juventus and Barcelona) "can not accept that it cost them compete because there are clubs that jump the norms. By the survival of the historical clubs, can not allow that this follow like this". It manifested.
On the changes in the directive, the president culé thinks that his interventions in the management have produced "of an orderly form and coordinated with the executives. I am not the only. We go us delivering the tasks. Enric Masip is an adviser of the cabinet of presidency and the technical secretary of football. It is a man with a lot of knowledges. Has good relation with Mateu Alemany and Jordi Cruyff, that will be the next technical secretary", explained the mandator.
