Laporta met with the journalists during the weekend. He talked about many interesting things including the possible arrival of Messi in summer.
Agreement with the main sponsor – Spotify
They asked us for a time of silence because they had a council ten days later, but the agreement was never in danger. Spotify, for a matter of confidentiality, wants to keep the reserve. As it is a good contract, they prefer to keep the reservation. It’s the same as with salaries. The contract is very good. The best contract in history; and it links us to a well-known company that almost everyone has on their mobile, which is European, listed on the stock market… They made it a condition sine qua non. It was not our intention to put it on, but we are waiting for them to come this week. I would like to explain the contract transparently and I will try until the end to make the figures known. I respect what the partner says. I will try to explain what I can without violating the confidentiality clause with Spotify. These figures, theoretically, should come out in the accounts of the next Assembly of delegates. We link the club to the world of music and technology. For the sleeve we have six offers.
Possibility of Messi’s arrival
He said that he has not received any message from Messi to return to Barça. Nor from his environment. And we are not considering it at this time. We are building a new team with experienced players. But Leo is Leo, he is the best player in the world recognized. I wouldn’t say it would be a step backwards. Leo is Leo and with the state of mind that came…, well, he’s a winner. Messi deserves respect as a player and as a person.
