On Monday, Josep Maria Bartomeu swore he had no intention of resigning.
This Tuesday, he… resigns.
According to several Spanish sources (RAC1, SPORT, MD), the 57-year-old leader gives in to popular pressure (and internally) by giving up control of the Catalan giant.
All the board of directors returns its apron, anticipating the motion of censure decided by the Socios.
The information has not (yet?) Been confirmed.
A press conference will be held this Tuesday evening at 8:45 p.m.
This will be the case at that time ... In place since 2015, Josep Maria Bartomeu had been extremely contested for many weeks, many months, for his management of the club, in particular by Lionel Messi and several locker room executives.
The elections were due to take place next March.
It will probably be sooner ...
