What is the assessment of Joan Laporta? It is clear that for the moment, we are far from the return to the top of Barça that he promised when he took power in 2021. The club’s sporting results are average to say the least, the financial situation seems to deteriorate from year to year to the point where the club cannot recruit, and the management of certain files like Messi, Koeman and Xavi has been quite controversial.

The group’s project will be presented to the public in the coming months and has a very clear objective: to save the club from the disastrous situation in which it is stuck. It already has a lot of support, mainly among the younger members.
Is Laporta in danger? Not yet, as the club’s next elections won’t take place until 2026, in two years. That gives Laporta time to straighten things out a bit, but there’s also the risk that it could get worse. Camprubí doesn’t rule out the possibility of launching a motion of censure before 2026 to oust the president if things don’t change for the better. So the pressure is on Barça’s current leadership…
