It was only a matter of time before

Óscar Grau

, until now CEO of Barcelona, ​​joined the list of executives loyal to former president Bartomeu fired by the new board of

Joan Laporta

. Grau, one of those investigated in the

Barçagate

plot

and who served as general director since September 2016, was informed this Tuesday of the liquidation of his contract. His position is inherited by

Ferran Reverter

, still CEO of Mediamarkt Saturn, but who has been serving for weeks as chief executive of a Barcelona that continues with its profound remodeling of the offices.

The dismissal of Grau, which leaves Barcelona with a debt of 1,173 million euros, occurs the same week in which the contract for

Pere Jansà

, who had been with the entity since

Sandro Rosell

offered him to be the director,

was also terminated

of communication in 2010. After a brief stint as Dircom, in 2011 he already took over the social area with full confidence also on the part of Bartomeu.

One of the first decisions that the Laporta board made when taking control of the club was to dispense with

Román Gómez Ponti

, head of the legal services and also investigated in the

Barçagate

cause

, and

Albert Soler

, former director of professional sports and also key leader in the mandate of Bartomeu. Along with Soler,

Nacho Rodríguez

was also rejected

, who had configured the basketball project with Soler and whose position as manager was granted at the gates of the decisive phase of the season to

Juan Carlos Navarro

, promoter of the signing of

Pau Gasol

.

Neither did

Juan José Castillo

, one of Sandro Rosell's historical advisers, who resisted in Barcelona as a professional sports technical advisor, or

Xavier de las Moras

, head of security who was replaced by number two of the Mossos d 'Esquadra,

Ferran López

.

Laporta shares his command post in the presidency with

Manana Giorgadze

, Chief of Cabinet;

Jordi Finestres

, who since 2017 was the technical manager of the

Carles Puigdemont Office

;

and

Enric Masip

, historic Barcelona handball captain.
