Two weeks before the elections, the candidates are upping the ante. This Monday, Toni Freixa promised in the El Món program of RAC-1 to inject 250 million euros next season that he will invest in “two differential cracks in attack and a great defense”. Freixa announced that the 250 million will come through an investor to develop Barça Corporate. Of course, the Barça club will reserve 51% of the profits of that line of business that is Barça Corporate to ensure the independence of the club and that it does not flow towards the conversion into a Public Limited Company. “The message is that Barça will have the competitive team what the partners have to have and what they want. I am verifying a reality, we will have the most competitive squad for the 2021-2022 season. “Freixa did not give names:” We will not talk about players until we sign them, because they can step on us in the negotiation. Of course, he said that “it is possible to bring Haaland and Mbappé”.
Freixa also showed very optimistic in the renewal of Messi. He dropped conversations with the player's father. “Messi is as culé as us, knows the situation of the club and I am confident that he will wait for the president to decide his future“And he insisted again that he has not seen the Argentine's contract. He also regretted that the campaign is not talking about the sports project:” We have not been able to hold a football debate because the other candidates do not have a person to discuss football . There are some who don't want it to be “
He also wanted to clarify what he considers a legend; what Cruyff's honorary presidency was withdrawn from Barça: “That is another great injustice and a great mantra. I appreciate the question and it will not do much to explain it either, because the mantra will continue. Laporta named Cruyff honorary president three months before the end of his term, after seven years in office. When we got to the club, and to questions from a journalist, we said that this figure did not exist in the statutes and that an Assembly would be called to create the figure. It's all we did. And as a spokesperson, I had to say it. I shared with journalists and partners what the Board had discussed. What came next is that Johan returned the medal and built the mantra that we were against him, when people know what Johan Cruyff means to me“.
