Barcelona has lost one of its fundamental executive pieces hours before the club announces its sponsorship contract with Spotify.

Ferran Reverter,

Barça CEO, has informed President

Joan Laporta

on Tuesday of his resignation from the position for "personal and family reasons".

Sources of the entity admit to this newspaper that their discrepancies with the maximum president regarding the deal with Spotify, among other weighty reasons regarding the management of Barcelona, ​​have ended up precipitating his departure.

Reverter had been negotiating the last days in Miami the agreement with the

streaming platform,

which will be made with the men's and women's first team jersey, in addition to the training one and the

title rights

of the Camp Nou.

According to the radio station RAC1, Spotify will pay around 280 million euros for three years.

In recent weeks, and according to sources from the Barcelona board, mistrust between Reverter and Laporta had grown, despite the fact that the executive director had been commissioned to lead the restructuring of a debt of 1,350 million euros and the negotiations for the reduction of the wage mass of soccer players.

Reverter, last August, had a key intervention by refusing to sign the agreement with the CVC fund that Laporta had previously agreed with the president of LaLiga, Javier Tebas.

He understood Reverter that this was nothing more than a 50-year mortgage and, together with the economic vice president,

Eduard Romeu

, he convinced Laporta to back down.

That refusal ended up leading to the alliance with Real Madrid in the Super League project and the refusal to renew Leo Messi, who ended up signing with PSG between reproaches to the president.

The departure of Reverter, whom Laporta signed from Mediamarkt Saturn after winning the presidential elections, confirms the cracks in the Laporta government.
