The Spanish Football Club Barcelona announced the victory of Juan Laporta, former president of the club between the two years (2003 and 2010), in the presidential elections, which were held on Sunday, with 54.28% of the votes.

And the official account of the FC Barcelona published in the “Twitter” “tweet”, in which it said that Juan Laporta is the new president of the club.

The former president of the Barça club, Josep Maria Bartomeu, announced his resignation from his position as president of the Catalan club, on Tuesday, October 27, 2020, after the success of the campaign by the Barcelona Board of Directors and the departure of Bartomeu.

The impeachment campaign began at the end of last season, after Barcelona’s historic loss to Bayern Munich (2-8) in the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

The businessman Jordi Fari presented a request for “withdrawal of trust” to Bartomeu and his management on August 26, after the Argentine star Lionel Messi announced, via fax, that he wanted to leave the club and activate the clause that allows him to unilaterally cancel his contract with Barcelona. The Catalan team confirmed that the period of validity of the article has expired, so Messi is forced to continue, preferring not to enter the courts, at the beginning of September.

All three candidates have pledged to try to persuade Argentine star Lionel Messi to continue his career at Barcelona, ​​knowing that his contract with the club will expire at the end of the current season.

But with the arrival of Juan Laporta (58 years old), the Argentine star is expected to remain in the “Camp Nou” stadium, due to his close relationship with the “flea” that reaches the level of friendship.
