Camp Nou stage
“I always control myself, because of the protocol. Out of respect. I have many funny memories. Especially when a political representative comes, who asks everything. They don’t leave you alone. But they do it in good faith. And when Etoo scored, the commander did , I was grateful. Now I enjoy it more. Xavi is doing fantastically. We already play as he wanted, we make chances, goals… At first I suffered, because what I wanted didn’t come out. But everything has a process. Xavi has returned to the origins of our game, has convinced the players, there are the players we have signed…”

“It will be full. The members with a ticket, let them come, and if they can’t, let them pass it. We intend to pass the 90,000 followers. We are proud of our players, as people and because they make a spectacular game. They are the best in the world. They are very excited. They will surely win. I know them all, in the campaign they took me”.

“They asked us for a period of silence because they had a Council. We do not say the figures in the same way that we do not say the figures of the players. They want to keep the reserve. They do not want to disclose what they pay for sponsorship, because it could raise other contracts that they have. “It doesn’t matter to us, for transparency I’d like to say so, but for them confidentiality was an essential condition. It’s a very good contract for Bara, the best in history. And it’s a very good company. The partners will decide, I hope.” that they support us. And if not, we will accept it. The world is not ending. Explain what you can. In the accounts of the next year it will be seen, that is what we tell you. A world of extraordinary possibilities opens up to us, with music, with technology. There could be concerts at the Camp Nou. Many things can be done”.

“On the sleeve there could also be advertising, we have six proposals.”
Camp Nou works
“They are on the calendar for them to start in September. In July, there will be a contest and in September, they will start. But we value the impact that an unjust war represents. The prices of materials are becoming more expensive, interest rates may rise… We plan to finish building the stadium in 2025. We are working on financing. There is good will from the City Council to go to Montjuc. It is an extraordinary city project. There is plenty of time to adapt it”.
We do not consider the return of Messi
Laporta
Messi
“I would like Messi to come to the inauguration. It is his home. Now the relationship is less fluid than before. There is no contact in person. I remember him with affection and I hope he does too. But before it was the institution, I couldn’t put it in risk. I think I did what I had to do. I felt worse because of the family issue… I haven’t received any message from Leo or those around him to return to Bara. We didn’t think about it. We’re building a new team, with new people, combined with expert people. There is symbiosis. But the Leo is the Leo. He is the best player in the world, Golden Ball. It is not a step backwards. We did not consider it, but he deserves respect”.
City-Unzu
“Due to covid, it couldn’t be done. It doesn’t have a date. Hopefully Messi can come.”
City-Bara, Supercopa
“It would be very good. It would be a very cool scenario. I hadn’t thought about it. They have the tie against Atlético, it will be difficult. And we, against Eintracht”.
Europa League
“It’s an important competition that we don’t have. We’re excited to win it. We have to give everything. People are hooked.”
I want to win the League, I say it convinced
Laporta
LaLiga
“I do not sign to win the Europa League and be second. I want to win the League. I say it convinced, we have a team to win it and because we reached the last stretch well. With a team that works well that has more desire than me to win the league. Yes We continue as we are now, we will be champions”.
Xavi
“I’ll be there for as long as he wants. I’ll make sure he’ll be the coach for my mandate. He’s the usual Xavi, he’s matured.”
Koeman
“I have very good memories of him. From Wembley. I have respect for him. And I hope that, when time passes, he changes his mind. It was as it was. I will always be welcome. In those 15 days I had Xavi in mind, he had also won the Cup… we gave him another chance”.
0-4 or 2-6
“They are similar. The other day, they could have fallen more. The context is different. The game they suffered there is not pleasant. The canvas was a very good canvas.”
The relationship with Florentino is cordial and civilized
Laporta
Real Madrid-Super League
“The relationship with Florentino is cordial and civilized. We are in contact with the Super League, which continues. I think there will be a constructive dialogue with UEFA.”
Adam
“Adama-Trincao would be an option to consider. He is a different player, we are happy with him.”
Sergio Robert
“He had the opportunity to renew at the beginning of the season. He didn’t understand it. The moment was then. Now we are rebuilding the squad. And he is coming off an injury.”
Araujo-Gavi
“The two are on the right track. They are two very important players and they want to continue at Bara. We will find a point of agreement, as long as they understand that there have to be salary margins”.
Dembl
“I like him a lot. He’s a great player. But a bit like Sergi Roberto has happened to him. Although we like him and the way he plays, there are salary limits. With his agent, you don’t know. It’s a box of surprises”.
Today, neither Haaland nor Mbapp have said that they want to come to Bara
Laporta
Haaland-Mbbap
“I would stay with whoever wants to play at Bara, with whomever expressed their desire to come. Today no one has said so. And they should adapt to economic reasoning, or I see it as difficult. In the economic conditions that are being discussed, neither If I could do it, I would. I haven’t met the Haalands in Marbella”.
Salah-Lewandowski
“They are great players. They don’t need anything.”
Joao Flix
“I like him a lot. He’s a great player. We looked to make the change and it couldn’t be done. Atltico didn’t want to part with him.”
We have closed two signings that were free
Laporta
Transfers
“We have closed a couple of players who are free. There is a fight with LaLiga to make the incorporations. We are awaiting their criteria, which is sometimes very restrictive. There are conversations with CVC, but they are also talking with other funds. Before the June 30 must be done. But the big signing is Bara.”
Raphinha
“He is a good player. There are good reports. Deco takes him, who is not on our payroll.”
Can
“Now I am more of an executive. We are intervening in management in a coordinated way.”
Masip
“He is an advisor to the presidential cabinet on sports issues. He has a lot of knowledge and has created a good atmosphere with Alemany and Cruyff. So I am well informed.”
Urdangarn
“I would like him to do coaching. His son plays here. He is from a generation that has made history and we have to respect it. We don’t close ourselves off.”
