Since Joan Laporta’s return to the presidency of FC Barcelona, the winds of change have blown through the Ciutat Esportiva, with two more long-serving members of the team set to leave the club.
Former Barça scout and technical secretary Ramon Planes recently left Real Betis to join Saudi club Al-Ittihad as sporting director. Planes wasted no time returning to Spain in search of potential recruits. He first began negotiations with Angel Correa, of Atlético de Madrid.
According to Sport, two more FC Barcelona staff members will join Al-Ittihad in the coming days. Laia Vinaixa, a sports psychologist, worked with the first team until last summer, when she was repositioned at Barca Atletic. She will immediately leave the club to join Al-Ittihad.
General manager Franc Carbo will also leave the club after more than 13 years with the club. He has overseen the administrative side of the club since 2017, and previously managed Barcelona’s football schools around the world. He leaves the club on good terms, with the Catalan daily describing him as an “excellent professional”.
