Joan Laporta arrived to the FC Barcelona does some months after winning the elections with the difficult mission to do renacer of his ashes to the Barcelona group. After a management deficitaria in the economic and in the sportive of Josep Maria Bartomeu and his Managerial Board, 'Jan' landed in the Camp Nou to give back to the Barça to the world-wide elite. However, the grave financial problems of the entity have put it to him very complicated to the new president.

The maximum mandator barcelonista promised and insinuated some things during the campaign and in his first months to the control that at the end have not fulfilled . The lawyer and employer was conscious that the things were badly in the economic, but the time has showed that it did not know until which point were it. Thus, the Catalan has had to take some delicate and controversial decisions in the sportive to be able to begin to solve all the concerning the economy.

However, in spite of the need to take some delicate decisions for the sake of the club, many of them have affected and will affect directly to the team for bad. Thus, it can say that in the sportive Laporta has suspended in his first market like president of the Barcelona. The no renewal of Leo Messi​ has been his big lunar, but the 'gift' of Antoine Griezmann to the Athletic of Madrid has been what has finished him for sinking.

Going point by point and beginning by the of the Argentinian, 'Jan' threw of optimism during all the summer and used to the '10' in his campaign ensuring that only he could renew him. Everything seemed fact, but suddenly the club 'broke' the agreement that had with the father of Leo by not being able to fulfil it economically speaking. The 'presi' recognised that it had to renounce to the attacker by the survival of the entity and the Barça remained without the best player of his history, without his big referent and without his maximum goleador.

After Messi, the following mission of Laporta was to give exit to the Miralem Pjanic, Samuel Umtiti or Philippe Coutinho, players with very high index cards that did not explain for the entity. However, the mandator has not been able to or has not known to achieve that any of them go out and all will go on down the less until January. The wages that signed them Bartomeu have played against of the lawyer, that has not been able to surpass this losa.

The operation of Griezmann, a disaster in the sportive.

On the other hand, at the end it has decided to do without Griezmann, to the one who has yielded two years to the Athletic. In this case, at least it has attained that the colchoneros buy to the forward when it finish the loan and commission of the 20 'kilos' that earns during the two next campaigns. Nevertheless, this does not remove that deportivamente the operation lack sense, since the French, in spite of his defects, was probably the best attacker of the staff and his loss will be more than painful. Besides, 'give him' to the picture colchonero, that comes to win LaLiga, is to hit a shot in the foot in the aspirations of the culés to conquer the title.

Also it can criticise the sale of Emerson Royal by 25 millions to the Tottenham. Subtracting the 9 'kilos' that paid to the Betis by him does a month and the 5 that carry the sevillanos of the traspaso now, the gains are alone of 11 millions. Besides, the signing of Luuk of Jong, that will play yielded in the Camp Nou a year, is incomprehensible in the sportive. The Dutch seems that it does not give the size and arrives of the Seville like descarte, something that does not speak precisely well of the Barça.

It fits to say also that the course of Ilaix Moriba also is consequence of the decision of Laporta of not to offer him the sueldazo that asked his agents. Nevertheless, in this case, anybody rebate to the mandator, that did what had to do and took out 16 millions by his sale finish agreement in 2022. A necessary sale by the situation that in the sportive will not have greater consequences, since Nico González, that will be his relief, has so many or more conditions that he.
