One of the men who wants to run in the 2021 elections, Víctor Font, has reacted by calling for Bartomeu’s resignation and announcing that he does not rule out supporting a motion of censure.
You know perfectly well that if the Catalans could go to the Stadium, the whole field would be a cry: Bartomeu is already folding! You haven’t even been able to guard the best of history, a homemade myth. That is why we insist: Bartomeu resigns and elections as soon as possible!

Abroad, former Barça player Gary Lineker, whose profile is a photo of himself with Messi, asks that the case not end up becoming a war between the player and the club.
If Messi is to leave @FCBarcelona by activating a release clause, then I hope the club try to help, not hinder him. He’s been fiercely loyal and their greatest ever player. It would be terribly sad if it finished with a fight between the player and the club.
