Joan Laporta has broken his silence. In the Auditori 1899 of the Camp Nou, the president of FC Barcelona has made his first appearance since he was elected president on March 7. Without giving excessive details about the economic situation, while waiting for the results of the Deloitte due diligence that will be presented in July, he acknowledged that "Bar?a is in a delicate economic situation, with significant losses and a very large debt". In addition, he has anticipated that "we have the wage bill at 110% of income, we do not comply with the Final Fair Play ".
Laporta's press conference had raised great expectations. The future of the football team, pending the renewal of Messi and the decision on the coach, the layoffs in the professional sections, the Super League, the guarantees or the financial situation of the club, after the due diligence of Deloitte, were some of the issues on which he was expected to speak.
“We have the need to explain ourselves”, Joan Laporta began by saying, acknowledging that “we have detected a certain impatience in the environment”. "I would like to explain the short-term roadmap", he added, recalling that the rhythms are different since "we have reached the middle of the season" ending a project that has not worked "and starting a" new club model that will reverse the economic situation that we have found ourselves in ”.
"On the economic issue I will not be able to be very precise because we are under the audit that will close in July, " he said. "On June 20 the assembly of delegates will be held, and there we will have more information", since "things are coming out that we have to solve, some worrying, others surprising, and others complicated but that have a solution," he added.
The club drew up a budget of 828 million euros for this season, with a forecast of one million euros in profit, but now they are working with a scenario of about 700 million euros in income and losses of 300 million euros, that would triple those of the 2019-2020 financial year.
"In any case, we will be transparent as much as possible," he said, while advancing that "we consider asking for responsibilities" for actions such as the payment of 1.5 million euros to Lait?, although "we want to end the due diligence to analyze it because it has led us to a delicate economic situation, with significant losses and a very large debt ”. " We are in the process of restructuring the debt, " and analyzing possibilities also in the field of sponsorship. "Fortunately, Bar?a has very powerful assets", I have sentenced.
"We are reversing the economic situation, we have the wage bill at 110% of the expected income , inherited as a consequence in part of the coronavirus," he said, recognizing that "this will have to be adjusted and we are working." "We also have the Financial Fair Play, which now we do not comply with, for every one hundred (euros) that we release we can enter 25, a ratio that has its complexity to achieve", so "we must reduce expenses and increase income".
“ We have important offers for the jersey , although we want to renew with Rakuten and we are already in talks, but we have new ones that greatly improve what we have. And the title rights of the stadium and other categories allow us to be optimistic, but at the rate that these decisions entail ”, he stated.
In relation to Espai Barca, he stated that "the audit will determine the final budget that will be more than the 825 million planned" , although in any case it is a figure that falls short. "The City Council has been asked for an improvement plan to which they were receptive, and by the end of the year we will have the license to start the project: the Palau and the renovation of the Camp Nou, which has become obsolete," he said. " In eight months the roof will have to be made and we will have to move, " he assured about the need to go to play at the Montjuic Olympic Stadium. "There will be a period as short as possible that we will have to play matches outside the stadium, but it will not be as long as we thought," he detailed.
In relation to the Super League , he points out that “it was a very advanced project when we arrived ”, and that it was very important that Bar?a “be in this competition”. "After a week reviewing the documents with the lawyers, we concluded that we should be part with a reservation: submit it to the assembly of delegates, " being the only club that raised this reservation. "We must defend the interests of Bar?a and try to make football sustainable, with problems that make us suffer financially," he detailed. In any case, "Bar?a's position is always that of dialogue with Uefa, Fifa, the federations and LaLiga."
At the sporting level, he has assured "there are no transitional seasons", at the end of the season it is time to take stock. "We have arranged to meet next week," he explained about Ronald Koeman, without going into assessing whether Pep Guardiola or Xavi Hern?ndez are options, detailing that "Ronald gives the profile." While about Messi has explained that "the new contract is going well but is not done" , with a proposal "within the possibilities of the club." And he has anticipated that the first signings will be presented next week, while he has asked for patience for decision-making.
In relation to the changes in handball, he stated that he feels admiration for Xavier Pascual and David Barrufet, but that for "technical-sporting reasons the coach had to be changed". " Our project must have our seal and give a new impulse, these are times of change, " he detailed, announcing that Antonio Carlos Ortega will succeed him in office. Regarding Barrufet, he indicated that it was necessary to carry out restructuring, dispensing with technical secretaries in the sections to lighten the weight of the payroll. A situation similar to that of futsal. The only section that the technical secretary maintains is basketball, in the figure of the recently signed Juan Carlos Navarro, who returned to the club in April.
About the European Super League" I told Ceferin that we do not plan to apologize, for thinking nor are we going to pay a penalty that has no justification, " he explained about his conversation with the president of Uefa. "If we are sanctioned we will go to TAS and I am sure we will win," he said. Although it has recognized that the competition format does not exist and that now there is a company that has rights attributed by a court, whose judge has sent it to the Luxembourg Court for ratification based on the competition law of the European Union " .
"We want to promote dialogue", betting on "a more attractive format, with a deeper reflection on how young people see football ." "Football calls for innovation and changes," he said, recalling that they are still in contact with most of the founders of the Super League, a project from which the state-clubs that could even benefit from it have been unmarked, according to Laporta. "The big clubs are also to blame for the situation," he said, warning that they are working to make football more sustainable, detailing that "all clubs are in losses and in debt" when there are other agents in the football industry who are getting rich and "should be corrected" not "with more competitions so that there is more to distribute."
“ We have 1,200 million in debt and about 350 million in losses . We are working to reverse it and we will achieve it because we have important assets that attract investors ”, Laporta pointed out.
