The rival of Joan Laporta criticizes the Barcelona that is recommended by the association Florentino Perez
Barcelona are currently looking to sell key players this summer to close the growing gap between their salary and the salary cap, amid a series of worrying numbers for the Blaugrana. The former presidential rival of Joan Laporta, Victor Font, said that the management of the club by Laporta was advised by one of Florentino Perezhis close companions.
Font gave an interview this week where he called for more sustainable practices and business modernization, criticizing Laporta in the process.
“The sociological thing about Real Madrid is something we all know. What doesn't make sense is that when we have to choose between Messi and Florentino, we choose the president of Madrid,” he told RAC1, as covered by Sport.
“Anas Laghrari, who is one of Florentino's trusted men, advises Barça. In some circles they heard that Florentino said: “Who would have thought that I helped Barca?” Well, yes, Florentino helps Barca and there is no explanation.
Font refers to Anas Laghrari, a senior partner at Key Capital Partners and co-founder of A22, the company that organizes the Superleague for Real Madrid and Barcelona. Laghrari worked with Perez first for his construction business ACS, and then again to work out an agreement for the financing of the Santiago Bernabeu with Sixth Street.
It was to the same company that Barcelona sold its TV rights, and Lahgrari's Key Capital partners were also employed by Laporta and Barcelona to consult in all their economic leverage matters.
Font also warned that last season's success should not cover the practices in Barcelona, as the treble of 2015 did, pushing Josep Maria Bartomeu from a likely loser in the election to a winner comfortable
“Winning a league does not guarantee success; the great frustration is that the victory is sometimes a problem. The treble of 2015 brought problems: the problems were buried with the successes and we entered the worst stretch of contemporary history of the club. There will be a good diagnosis.”
