While the ousted president Josep Bartomeu continues to appear and is also arrested, Barcelona are continuing the campaign to elect a new president.

Juan Laporta, Victor Pont and Tony Freixa - the three leading candidates for the presidency of the group held a kind of press conference today (Tuesday) where they presented their doctrine and also confronted each other.

Victor Font, who is set to be Laporta's biggest rival, teased the president who signed the club's heyday: "Laporta does not have the strength and energy he had in 2003. When talking about experience, one needs to understand what kind of experience is needed for this position."

On his vision, he said: "No need to improvise, we have done homework and have been doing it for months to build the staff next season."

On the issue of Messi: "Messi must continue in Barcelona. He must believe in the club's sporting project. Pep told me that the hardest thing is to convince players. Imagine how Xavi will convince him? We will give Messi a contract for life and next season he will adapt himself to the needs. "Because he loves this club. He will cut his contract in the short term, to compensate himself in the long term."

And what did Laporta have to say about Messi?

The president, who has already successfully collaborated with the big star, said: "We can not compete with offers he has from other teams. But he is not led by money, he wants to win titles, win and retire with all the titles. That is my goal. I am in great touch with him and I will "If he does not win, I am sure that Messi will not continue in Barcelona."

Laporta also stung back at Font, who claims to bring Xavi back to Camp Nou as the next coach: "It's better to define the sporting structure than to give names like Mr Font who only talks about Xavi, Xavi and Xavi."
