Barcelona experienced a day of strong emotions this Tuesday. The culé club virtually won its 27th League, but at the same time a real earthquake was experienced in the entity’s offices. While Jordi Alba turned the Camp Nou upside down, Mateu Alemany blew up the noble floor with a sudden goodbye. The director of Football will say goodbye at the end of the season to set course for Aston Villa in the Premier League- A twist in the script that will force the Catalans to carry out a new reconstruction just a few months after having done the previous one. «Mateu Alemany has transferred to the president of FC Barcelona, Joan Laporta, the intention to start a new path, but guaranteeing that he will complete the entire summer market with the entity. He has promised to close all the operations of the first team, even if there are some that are done at the last moment of the market, “says the statement with which Barcelona made public the goodbye of Mateu Alemany at the end of the season. The culé club thus puts an end to a key piece in the restructuring of the team in the new era of Joan Laporta. The still director of Football has been key to the arrival of players like Lewandowski, Raphinha, Kessié or Christensen and leaves an earthquake at the culé club that must be solved in the coming months. So much so that the next to step aside could be Jordi Cruyff. The current sports director of the club ends his contract next June and it is not at all clear that he is going to renew. Along with Xavi Hernández and Mateu Alemany, he had formed a society that was perfectly understood and in which any possible arrival and departure of players that the Tarrasa coach did not count on was agreed upon. Alemany’s departure, presumably to Aston Villa, ends that link and could make Jordi Cruyff opt for a decision that has been maturing for months now, that of saying goodbye to Barcelona at the end of this season. The ball would now be in Joan Laporta’s court, who will have to decide if he makes a move giving Cruyff more responsibility or opts for a revolution with the signing of a new football director. The reasons for the goodbye Behind Mateu Alemany’s decision there are several reasons. The former president of Real Mallorca and manager of Valencia has received a dizzying offer from Aston Villa, a club that has been bidding hard since Wesley Edens and Nassef Sawiris, natural gas and telecommunications magnates, respectively, became president. This proposal has deepened the uncertainty that Alemany already had in the culé project. He believes that Laporta intervenes too much in the sporting field and believes that these decisions could affect an economic situation that continues to be delicate. He considers that the room for maneuver is too narrow and errors such as arriving late to the court to register Gavi or the continuous leaks to the press have not helped either.

The most delicate matter is the possible arrival of Leo Messi, an issue for which progress is being made with the League, but which still depends on a salary margin that continues to be very narrow. Barça is also working for the continuity of Sergio Busquets, who already announced this Tuesday “that he will make a decision in the next few days” and also in the future of Ansu Fati, for whom his own father assured after the match against Osasuna that “he will is left over”. All these fronts are still on the agenda of a Mateu Alemany who will say goodbye in June, but before that he will have to work an intensive day to solve a real puzzle.
