FC Barcelona faces a deep crisis at the start of 2025, with the failed registrations of Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor increasing the pressure on President Joan Laporta.
A revolution is brewing at Barça. Troubles are mounting for Joan Laporta, as the stalled transfers of Olmo and Víctor highlight growing discontent. Socios and opposition figures have criticized his leadership, particularly the perceived improvisation in transfer dealings and ongoing financial struggles. Former presidential candidate Víctor Font has publicly condemned these missteps, demanding accountability from Laporta.
The opposition is gaining momentum, with groups of socios and fan associations releasing an open letter calling for Laporta and his board to resign. They cite not only sporting failures but also poor financial management and questionable commercial partnerships. Despite these demands, Laporta remains resolute in his decision to stay on.
In response to the growing dissent, Jordi Farré, a former board member and the initiator of the 2020 motion of censure against Bartomeu, has announced plans to launch a new motion against Laporta. If the motion garners enough support, it could lead to Laporta’s removal, though a strict process must be followed before socios vote to confirm the censure.
