Barça is such a special club that the members are the ones who choose all those leaders who tend to have great media relevance during the legislature.
Joan Laporta
won the elections on March 7.
But the partners not only chose who should be their president, but also the members of their board.
That is to say, also to
Jaume Giró
.
But the resignation of who should be the economic vice president of the entity - "professional reasons", argued the parties - has revealed a premature concern within a project yet to be born.
Not yet invested.
Sources close to Laporta maintain that the departure of Giró, in no case, should corrupt the delivery this Monday before LaLiga of the guarantee of 125 million euros.
Once the employers can validate these guarantees within 24 hours - it will be necessary for the managers to use counter-guarantees, probably through international funds - the new president of Barcelona should be invested on Wednesday.
That is, the last of the ten calendar days that mark the statutes between the electoral celebration and the inauguration.
If not, the club's laws are clear.
A Manager would take the reins again and this would have to call new elections.
"Laporta will take office on Wednesday. Everything is going in the right direction," they assured this Sunday from around the president-elect.
Sources familiar with the conflict of interest that ended with Giró's resignation understand that Laporta's presidential profile did not match the aspirations of the former CEO of the La Caixa Banking Foundation.
Despite the fact that a good part of the electoral discourse revolved around the economic ideology with which Giró intended to rescue Barcelona, with special relevance to the double issuance of bonds to relieve the treasury, Laporta, as planned, decided to grant the first vice presidency to
Rafael Yuste
.
This, a childhood friend, will also be vice president of sports.
The hierarchy and the degree of control that the economic vice presidency that Giró was to lead over one of Laporta's star signings had not been clear either:
Ferran Reverter
.
The still CEO of MediaMarkt Saturn will leave the German multinational on June 30.
Before, and without Giró, Laporta's board of directors will have to make key decisions: the refinancing of the debt (730 of the 1,173 million euros of debt are short-term), the reduction of the salary mass, the new contract of
Leo Messi
, the sale of the assets of Barça Corporate or the financing of Espai Barça.
For all this, Laporta has already tested new incorporations for the board, whose income should be approved in the assembly of delegates.
According to the
Ara
newspaper
and this newspaper was able to confirm, one of them will be
Eduard Romeu
, vice president of the Audax Renovables energy generation and marketing group, owned by one of the Spanish renewables magnates,
José Elías
.
Audax, by the way, already issued 325 million green and convertible bonds at the end of the year.
There's still more.
Goldman Sachs, the fund that should finance the reconstruction of the Camp Nou, increased its stake in Audax by 6.93% last December.
And the first team coach,
Ronald Koeman
, who distrusts everything despite the fact that Laporta has given him confidence, can only go about his business.
If this Monday he beats Huesca, his Barcelona will be four points behind the leadership.
