Víctor Font: "If it was what Messi wanted, they should have been allowed to leave"

Víctor Font spoke in an interview to 'Sportive World' of his candidature to the presidency of the FC Barcelona. The Catalan insisted in that his candidate for the bench is Xavi Hernández and left clear that has Leo Messi for his project. Besides, the one of Granollers said what would do he with Luis Suárez, pronounced on the motion of censorship and left clear that Josep Maria Bartomeu would have to resign the before possible.

On the captain of the Barça, the precandidato ensured that if they promised him leave him leave, that is what he said, Bartomeu had to have it allowed. "Like rulers and representatives of the partner at the head of the institution, one of the values that would have to demand is to be people of word and if really the president promised him to the best player of the history and of the club that, arrived the moment, when it wanted to go out could do it, would have to have made possible this will", commented.

"Would have to have allowed that Messi went if that was his will"

However, Font cleared that he had negotiated his exit with the '10' to try that the Barcelona had carried a quantity in concept of traspaso, something that 'Barto' did not want to do. "This does not want to say that what had touched, especially if we had happened the date that the agreement marked like the moment in that these rights legally went out, was to seat and treat to arrive to a meeting with something favourable for all the parts. It would have earned a traspaso, Messi would have been flexible and would have been able to do a transition", explained.+

Nevertheless, the Catalan felt relieved by the fact that Leo remained and insisted that it wants to have he for his new project. "Thank heaven It has not happened because the association Messi-Barça is strategic in our project of future further of the next two, three or four years. His figure has a weight importantísimo and that have managed this so badly go to see if we can take advantage of it. It is importantísimo that in January, when Messi was free to negotiate, know that there is a project of future that will be able to he build also", stood out.

Xavi, the angular stone of the project of Font

To the thread of this, Font recognised that Xavi Hernández has spoken with the Argentinian to try that it change of opinion on his course. Of the of Terrassa said also that it is the piedr angular of his project. "He and Guardiola have all the requirements pra can lead the project of future. And in base to this have spoken and worked the last years. We will propose to the partner a project football with an organisation chart from above to down defined with the leadership of Xavi. The idea is that it can have the final leadership of the project football", affirmed.

Of Luis Suárez, to the that the current Together wants to throw was as it was, commented that if he was president and the sportive direction decided something like this, it would be necessary to sack to the charrúa with honours and have looked for already a replacement, something that has not occurred. ​"I always highlight that these decisions would take them the sportive structure and, I like possible president, would not participate in this decision. I, like partner and fan, if the sportive direction thinks that it is necessary to relieve to the third maximum goleador of the history, touches to have a substitute and a plan, and manage the exit with all the honours", aimed.

"If Koeman does a big work, Xavi would decide how fit it in the project"

Also matizó his words on Ronald Koeman, to the that planted out of the Barcelona whatever happens in profit of Xavi. It seems that the last word on the Dutch would not have it he, but the ex midfield player of the Barcelona. "​What came to answer is that in front of a situation in that Koeman train to the team of successful form, the what do with Koeman would be responsibility of Xavi. I have spoken it with Xavi and if Koeman does a big work, already would find the way to fit it in the project", declared.

On the other hand, it left clear that no all what has done Bartomeu has been bad in sportive matter and praised the arrivals of Ter Stegen and Frenkie of Jong. Besides, it gave his seen well to Eric García, to the that wants the Barça this same summer. "Ter Stegen, further of his technical qualities, has other related with the commitment with the club, the team and his mates. Frenkie Of Jong intuyo that it is a similar case. It would do me a lot of illusion that could go back Eric Garcia. It is the central of the future, is a person that will be very committed, carries the club inside and therefore it has not wanted to renew", puntualizó.

It wants to Bartomeu out of the Barça what before

On the motion of censorship against the current president of the Barcelona wanted to leave clear that 'Barto' would have to resign what before, although matizó that it does not think that do it. "After the 8-2, putting the interests of the club by in front, the resignation of the managerial board and can initiate a new project from zero now was what better went him to the club. If we believed it then, today even more because have already a democratic sample that it is an absolute majority of the partners that want the same", said.

Finally, it explained why it thinks that it is necessary that the motion prosper so that the current Board can not take more decisions this campaign. "We think that the motion has to prosper because the difference is not of two months as it says . Of March to January. The big difference is that the board would leave to take decisions in October. If it does not prosper, although the elections are in March, this board takes the decisions until 30 June. They are eight months of difference", commented. Between all the decisions that have to take , Font insisted in the possible continuity of Messi, that could negotiate to go free to any team from January. "In this time it is necessary to take fundamental decisions as what do with Messi and how convince him that the future in the Barça is attractive", finalised.
