Strong support remains, but unresolved challenges and rising opposition signal potential hurdles for Laporta’s leadership.
Barcelona president Joan Laporta is navigating a pivotal moment in his presidency as reports suggest his standing with the club’s members remains strong but could face tests ahead. According to journalist Santi Giménez via AS, Laporta has maintained significant support, credited for steering the club through turbulent times. However, unresolved issues surrounding Dani Olmo’s registration may challenge his position.
Laporta’s tenure has been marked by his ability to solve complex problems. In his first term, he secured Memphis Depay’s registration after Gerard Piqué accepted a pay cut. Similarly, he facilitated Jules Koundé’s registration through board guarantees and resolved Gavi’s status with a precautionary measure. Most recently, he managed the inclusion of João Félix and João Cancelo using additional guarantees and ensured Andreas Christensen’s injury created space for Olmo to feature after initial registration delays.
Despite these successes, the ongoing complications with Dani Olmo could cast a shadow over Laporta’s legacy as he enters the final years of his term, set to conclude in 2026. Opposition voices are growing louder, with figures like Víctor Font, who has been increasingly vocal, and new contenders such as Camprubí Montal and Jordi Termes beginning to gain traction. Termes, associated with the Bizum platform, has openly questioned Laporta’s leadership, amplifying the political discourse surrounding the club.
Additionally, Xavi Vilajoana, a previous candidate, is expected to announce his bid soon. While Laporta’s charisma and proven track record remain key assets, a unified opposition could pose a formidable challenge to his leadership.
As the club approaches critical decisions, including resolving the Olmo situation, Laporta’s ability to maintain trust and deliver results will be pivotal in shaping the remainder of his presidency.
