Víctor Font insists in that it was possible to retain to Messi in the Barça

The name of Víctor Font appeared in the ballots for the presidential elections of the FC Barcelona celebrated in March. However, the majority of the partners finished depositing his confidence in an old known, Joan Laporta, that arrived with the renewal of Lionel Messi like one of his electoral promises.

However, it was not possible to retain to the Argentinian, all time that the limits salariales had been exceeded, by what had to desvincularse and eventualmente signing by Paris Saint-Germain Even so, the ex candidate, Víctor Font, has ensured that this possibility was viable if he had assumed the presidency.

In statements for TV3, Font explained that it had a strategy: "I Am convinced that it could avoid the exit of Messi. With a roasted there was not sufficient. With our plan of crash that had to reduce the mass salarial gave us a margin of manoeuvre so that Messi remained . We had foreseen to do him an agreement vitalicio".

Xavi also formed part of his proposal

Likewise, the ex candidate had clear that the egarense was the ideal candidate for the Barcelona bench: "we Knew that it was importantísimo that the project was in good hands. Had very clear that in my project Xavi had to have all the power of the sportive area".

In this sense, Font has recognised the tarpaulin by part of Laporta: "we Were working a sportive structure to guarantee a splendid future. I celebrate that although Laporta thought that Xavi was not prepared, have gone in in reason and now command Xavi".
