Joan Laporta was re-elected president of Barcelona after winning 68.18% of the votes in the club's elections, well ahead of the businessman Victor Font. After the victory, the leader returned to refer to Lionel Messi and assured that the Argentine will always have a place in the institution
.“Leo will be linked to FC Barcelona in any way he wants,” Laporta said after the results were announced. He added: "Barça's doors are open whenever he wants to continue strengthening and giving greatness to this institution that is FC
Barcelona.”The name of Messi returned to occupy a central place in the debate during the campaign, especially after Xavi Hernández assured in an interview that the Argentine may have returned to the club after the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, but that the operation ultimately did not move forward by decision of the leadership.
