Laporta on Flick: “Flick has transformed the Barça coaching staff. He is dedicated to the club, well-integrated in the community, approachable, demanding, and disciplined. He leads by example, balancing professionalism with a personal touch. We’re very pleased with his contributions.”
Laporta on Nike: “Our deal with Nike will be the best in football. We could have signed it at lower terms in August, but I aimed for the best possible outcome for Barça. It’s on the way and will be a 10-year agreement.”
Laporta on Marc Guiu: “Any player wishing to leave Barça is free to do so. There’s no place like Barça, and they will realize this eventually.”
Laporta on Lamine Yamal: “Six months ago, we received a €250M offer for Lamine Yamal, and I turned it down.”
Laporta on Lamine with the national team: “It was risky to play Lamine. We communicated our concerns, and they understood both our position and that of the player. In the end, the right decision was made.”
Laporta on Gavi: “Gavi was injured while with the national team, but he’s currently training. If all goes well, he could be available for upcoming matches against Sevilla, Bayern, and Madrid. Players returning from injury need time to adjust.”
Laporta on club finances: “We’re proud to report that Barça has achieved a positive ordinary result of €12M, the first since 2017. The club’s revenue has increased by 41%, while expenditures have decreased by 22% since 2021.”
