FC Barcelona is one of the clubs that has been severely hit by the corona pandemic. After all, the Catalans afford a sinfully expensive squad, but have to live with massive revenue losses. The future management team has to consolidate, which does not prevent some candidates from making election promises.
Time and again, the various sensation-hungry Spanish sports media say that Kylian Mbappe or Erling Haaland could find their way to Camp Nou as a result of the presidential elections. Such promises have not yet been heard from the campaign by favorite Joan Laporta. She acts as the voice of reason, and so Rafael Yuste also classifies the rumors. The vice-president-designate under Laporta criticizes those who build castles in the air for club members.
“Promote what we have”
“As of today, with a debt of 1.173 billion euros, it is irresponsible to say that we will get Haaland or Mbappe,” Yuste emphasized Sports world. Instead, the club wants to focus on existing potential in the team and in the substructure. “If we get things under control and start generating income again, there will be options. But for now we should promote what we have and see how far we can get with it.”
Laporta big favorite
After all, Barca can still rely on having the best player in the world in Lionel Messi. The six-time world footballer is considered to be a potential tip on the scales in the elections. The candidates who can best guarantee that the Argentine, who is so willing to change in 2020, will have the best cards. Laporta is considered a big favorite for Sunday’s election. “It’s very difficult for me to imagine that Leo could wear a different jersey,” says Yuste. It is tantamount to the biggest election promise of the Laporta campaign.
