Joan Laporta does not leave of toparse with unexpected problems along his presidency of the Barcelona, that when it won the elections to the charge in question already knew in advance that the situation of the club was quite complicated, but that in his first months of government has been able to check that any the worst of the stages was very simple for the gravity of the current situation.

As it has given to know in exclusive 'RAC1', the budget of the Espai Barça has shot and already surpasses already the 1.000 million euros. Besides, the referred emisora Catalan, that quotes near sources to the project that engloba the reform of the Camp Nou and his aledaños, between which appears the construction of a new Palau Blaugrana and the one of the stadium Johan Cruyff, and that it is the only part that already conclude.

When studying said project, Laporta and the directive arrived to the conclusion that to make the works the directive culé will have to pay much more that the 600 millions that were approved in the referendum done in the 2014. This without explaining the 815 that they were agreed with Goldman Sachs in October of the past year.

The true, is that the prognoses of the board of Bartomeu remained short. The unforeseen technicians, financial and of infrastructure are factors that have contributed to that increase the cost of the Espai Barça. By this reason, Laporta and his team of maximum confidence are studying a project that will have to replantear so that it was viable in the future immediate.

If it considers the delicate economic situation that crosses the Barça, seems quimérico that Laporta fix them to him to restart the works of the Espai Barça, since it finds entirely paralysed in these moments, and less if it looks forward to to do it in the next months. In addition to that has to take into account that the first team of masculine football has to subject to a deep renewal.

In principle, the managerial maximum of the square culé has the intention to keep the road of finance of the project with Goldman Sachs, signature with which already has agreed a credit of 500 million euros with some conditions quite a lot of positive and that will allow him to the Barça restructure his debt and face up to the pending payments of the present economic exercise which finishes to finals of June.

An immense debt

The economic situation of the Barcelona is extremely complicated, estimates that the total debt of the club is of more than billion of euros. Besides, Laporta seems to have descartado definitively the signing of Haaland to prioritise the renewal of Leo Messi. By what still lacking for seeing that it offers him to the Barcelona in financial terms.

Apart from all this, Laporta sacked to one of the attendants of the project by presumptive irregularities
