The Barça club, immersed in a serious institutional and economic crisis, has been without a board of directors since the end of October, when the team of Josep Maria Bartomeu submitted the resignation and a management board, chaired by Carles Tusquets, took command of the institution since then.

The Manager hastened the legal terms as much as possible and called elections for the end of January, but the health recommendations determined that they should be held on March 7, in agreement with the three candidates for the presidency: Joan Laporta, Víctor Font and Toni Freixa.

Tusquets, who is in favor of hiring Eric García, made a statement at the beginning of December, which he later had to clarify, in which he admitted that “economically” was in favor of the sale of Leo Messi.

“Economically, he would have sold Messi. It would have been the most desirable, and more taking into account the salary limits established by LaLiga, “he said.
