La Liga President Javier Tebas continued his fierce attack on Barcelona President Joan Laporta, this time by revealing that the Catalan president was the cause of the club’s economic collapse and the inability to renew Lionel Messi’s contract due to his rejection of the CVC agreement.
In the event that Barcelona agreed to the CVC agreement, Tebas would have given the club the opportunity to sign Lionel Messi to the new contract and the crisis would end, but President Laporta rejected the matter in an unexpected way, and justified this by maintaining the economic rights of his club for the next fifty years.
Tebas came out with a new response to Laporta, as he posted a tweet on Twitter saying that the Catalan president had already given La Liga its approval of the CVC agreement earlier.
And the tweet continued, “In the past weeks, Barcelona and La Liga held seven meetings, during which the club approved the project, and Barcelona requested that the agreement be put before the General Assembly, but yesterday, something incomprehensible happened.”
Tebas commented on this tweet by confirming, “72 hours ago, Laporta’s approval of the project was present, I don’t know what happened after that! From the European Super League, Barcelona would have made 500 million euros in TV rights.”
He asked who really runs Barcelona, saying: “What happened? There is a Barcelona CEO who talks a lot with… (He means Florentino Perez, Real Madrid president).”
Barcelona’s retraction from accepting the agreement coincides with a similar position taken by Real Madrid, headed by Florentino Perez as well, which puts the hypothesis of coordination and agreement between the two giants in one way or another to confront the League for the sake of the bigger dream, which is the European Super League project.
On the other hand, if Laporta had agreed, Messi’s crisis would have ended and had not occurred, but it seems that Barca’s interests for him have another split that does not involve the continuation of the flea at Camp Nou at any cost or possible means.
