Barcelona President Joan Laporta Refuses to Resign Amid Registration Crisis
Despite the ongoing deadlock over registering Dani Olmo and Pau Victor, Joan Laporta, the president of Barcelona, has no intention of stepping down. While some socios have begun calling for new leadership, Laporta remains steadfast in his position.
According to Football Espana, the club’s board does not view the situation as critical and is committed to finding a solution. However, frustration among fans continues to grow. Many have criticized Laporta for failing to deliver on his 2021 campaign promises to resolve the club’s significant financial troubles.
Laporta’s current term runs until 2026, and there has been no official discussion of early elections. Yet, the Spanish press has not hesitated to point out that if the registration impasse with Olmo and Victor remains unresolved, Laporta’s political capital within the club may quickly erode.
The coming weeks will be pivotal for both the club and its president as they navigate this challenging chapter in Barcelona’s storied history.
