The end of the month in Barcelona will mark a year since Josep Maria Bartomeu resigned as president of the club, but he really does not keep quiet.
Since the departure and entry of Joan Laporta a role, we have been privileged to hear many times Bartomeu who spares no criticism of the current management at all.
Barcelona recently confirmed that they are in a deficit of 451 million euros, as Laporta declared himself in August and of course blamed Bartomeu and the previous management, but there is one disagreement between the two: while Laporta blames Bartomeu and his men for leaving Lionel Messi, in an interview with Sport claimed the president Formerly different.

"Ronald Koeman is the one who lost Lionel Messi. I as president did not want him to leave and I did everything to do so, all possible efforts, and did not really stay at the club. He thought it would be good for him and for the club he would stay, but the summer decided he would leave and for me It seems like a bad decision, "said Bartomeu, who left Barcelona after 20 years." Playing without Lionel Messi in the team means that almost everything has to be changed. "
Unlike Laporta, although the latter did not fire Ronald Koeman from the position of coach contrary to all reports, Bartomeu defended Koeman: "He came to the club in a very challenging period and after heavy defeats, but took on the challenge. In his first season he did a good job, the team won In the cup and I can not say how we did not win the championship. It is very strange to me what they do to him after such a season. We must be patient with him and allow him to build a team that no longer has the best players in the world, but talent at the highest levels. "The story is completely different, but Barcelona must win the championship and the cup."
Refused to release him for 150 million euros.

Finally, Bartomeu was asked about the financial troubles and clarified: "Barcelona is not on the verge of bankruptcy and there is no fear that the club will collapse. The Corona has caused losses, but the club has many resources and no danger of bankruptcy. The problem was the Corona epidemic which caused a damage of 500 million euros in revenue, otherwise we would have lost only 50.
"In the summer of 2020 we received a very good offer for Enso Patti, this was an English team that offered 150 million euros for him We agreed to the proposal because for him the project was a top priority and we knew that when everything opened we could restore the level of revenue, "Bartomeu added.
