Joan Laporta has begun to prepare the FC Barcelona of the future and one of his first decisions at most mandator of the Barcelona club has been to give him continuity to the project of Ronald Koeman like trainer of the first team, at least by a season more. The president is satisfied with the work of the Dutch and is optimistic with that the results of his management will be positive for the Barcelona group.

Although it has not trascended the content of the meeting between both, boasts that they exchanged impressions regarding what is living the team and the solutions in the short term to restructure the Barça.

The ambition of the two is to give back to the Barcelona picture to the highest, as it already achieved Laporta in his first mandate, when the Barça did with the 'sextete', in the season 2008-2009. After the last seasons and the European disappointments, the north of the director blaugrana and of the entrendor is to recover the best version of the team and players.

The 'dispute' by the signings

Although Laporta and Koeman have the same north for the Barça, there are several differences in the options that handles each one for the next years of the club and the traspasos that expect. In the case of the Dutch trainer, Memphis Depay continues being his bet to reinforce the forward. His compatriot would arrive like free agent and his wage would not be so high, as yes they would be the one of the others stars that sound for the Barça.

However, Laporta bet and dreams with the traspaso of Erling Haaland from the Borussia Dortmund, although the figure that ask by him is at present inasumible for the Barcelona group. By this reason, Koeman is not so optimistic with his signing, although the maximum mandator will not surrender and will look for the traspaso of the Norwegian at all costs.
