Messi will wait for president-elect, Cruyff will join Laporta

Barcelona will meet Sevilla tonight (Wednesday, 22:00) at the Camp Nou for the Copa del Rey semi-final, when they are 2-0 behind in the first game and will try to make a difference to qualify for the factory final. While this important game is about to take place, it seems that in Catalonia everyone is dealing with only one thing and thinking only about one thing – the presidential election for the club this coming Sunday, when according to reports on the same day it will be possible to know who won.

The big question beyond “Who Won” will be immediately afterwards, what does all this say about the future of Leo Messi. According to the Catalan media, Messi will wait until the end of the season before deciding on his future. He will listen to each president elected, what he has to offer, and he is interested in seeing the sporting project of each of them and what moves are planned for this coming summer before deciding whether to stay at the club or look for a new journey.

The one who declared last night during the additional presidential confrontation that he is convinced that Messi will leave Barcelona if he is not elected, is Joan Laporta, the former president, who is defined by everyone as a favorite to win the election and as a result also gets coverage from those who have already won. For example, it was reported during the night that Jordi Cruyff, in “95%”, will be the technical director of the team under Laporta. He will team up with Matthew Alman, who has previously held a similar role at Valencia and is set to be the club’s sporting director. Both are supposed to be the ones concentrating on Barcelona’s professional construction under Laporta. The ex-Maccabi Tel Aviv is known to be under contract in China but can be released in favor of Barça.

Laporta By the way, he gave an interview during the night and continued his flirtation with Borussia Dortmund striker Harling Holland, through a flattery to his agent – Mino Raiola. “I know his gender, he’s a great guy. How many agents have called me already? five. I have a very good relationship with many football agents and it is a privilege that this is the situation. “
