The year 2021 will be key in the future of the FC Barcelona, since the elections will close the stage of Josep Maria Bartomeu like president. The institutional scandals have marked partly his mandate, sustained, as almost always in the last times, by the sportive successes of a group led by Leo Messi. With the leader centred in bequeathing an equipazo to his successor, what is clear is that it goes to have changes.

In the orbit of the club goes back to situate Joan Laporta, that has warned that will expect to announce officially if it presents candidature. In an interview conceded to 'Sports Four', the one who was maximum mandator of the Barcelona entity between 2003 and 2010 has glided that is working in a project, but has recalcado that it does not have foreseen to make public his intentions until it do not approach the end of 2020.

The Catalan, this yes, has mentioned some key names that could accompany him, and has referred to Leo Messi. On the Argentinian, angular stone of the changing room, has commented that "it will not have problems" to renew, although in the last months have remained patents the doubts that generates him the current course of the Managerial Board. "If it was player of the Barça, neither would be very happy", has valued the Barcelonan.

Neither it has lost opportunity of 'wet' on the return of Neymar, and has underlined that "it would recover it safe". With regard to his unexpected escape in 2017, has commented that "they were not clear with him", and so much sportive like mediáticamente considers him a star.

His election for the bench goes back to be of the house, as it already did playing it all to the letter Pep Guardiola in 2008. Faithful defender of the current 'Cruyffista' and of the 'DNA Barça', thinks that Xavi Hernández would be the option, ideal, although it has left the decision in hands of the egarense: "Xavi? Claro that it would be possible. It would be like the natural solution, will arrive the moment in which it consider it. He has to decide when".

Laporta Launches a 'dart' to the Real Madrid

In spite of not going in in confirmations, Laporta has admitted to be thinking in a project for the Barça, and has kidded with a 'dart' to the Real Madrid. After ensuring that it generates him illusion think in the future and that is gathering to "a group of professionals, with experience and of confidence", has signalled that it would like him live the last stage of Messi in the club: "Me ilusiona a lot manage this period, see me with them winning more Champions". "When I was, the madridistas did not win neither one", has added between laughs.
