Barca

FC Barcelona president, Joan Laporta is still keeping cards close to his chest regarding the endorsement of presidential candidate that is to represent the current Barca board.

6 months ago, vice-president, Alfons Godall, looked as a possible candidate but after he gave up the run there was only 2 names that were left on the list. The eccentric economist Xavier Sala i Martin and vice-president Jaume Ferrer (on the pic).

Reports coming from Catalan press claim that Laporta only supported Sala i Martin as a counterbalance for a candidate he’s not being fond of – Jaume Ferrer.

Recently, polls have shown that Sala i Martin doesn’t face good odds if he is to run for a president so Laporta turned again to Alfons Godall.
