Finally the day came: totally weakened, Josep Maria Bartomeu I will decide to resign from the presidency of FC Barcelona.
Also resigned, in its entirety, the board of directors of the club ‘culé’. The leader was facing Lionel Messi after the conflict over the Argentine’s attempted exit.
After knowing the position of the Generalitat de Catalunya, which stated that there are no “legal or sanitary impediments to holding the vote of no confidence”, Bartomeu and his commission decided to leave the entity of Catalonia.
On the other hand, the Barcelona footballers decided to hit the ballot at the salary negotiation table, where the leaders sought to reduce the salaries of the squad. In the midst of all this situation, and hit by the media, the resignation became inevitable.
“Bartomeu will appear tonight, starting at 8:45 pm (local), to explain his decision to resign made at the extraordinary meeting of the board held this afternoon at the Camp Nou,” Mundo Deportivo explained.
“It will be an appearance, not a press conference, and the Barça president will address especially the club’s members.”
