The recent uncertainty surrounding the signings of Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor has caused various reactions in different sectors of FC Barcelona.
Former presidential candidate Víctor Font has asked the club’s management for explanations, while the ‘Som un clam’ platform has gone so far as to demand the resignation of the current board headed by Joan Laporta.
However, not everyone shares this sentiment. Toni Freixa, another former presidential candidate, has expressed his support for the current board, offering a different perspective on the matter.
Freixa seems practical
Freixa, in the Esport3 program ‘Onze’, made it clear that he does not support any request for a motion of censure against Laporta and his board.
Consider that the club is working hard to resolve Olmo and Víctor’s registration problems, with the aim of ensuring their LaLiga eligibility in the second half of the season.

Freixa expressed his confidence that the current board is doing everything possible to achieve its objectives, which include both ensuring financial stability for potential signings and guaranteeing a competitive squad.
“No, not at all (asking for resignations). As a member of Barça I have no doubt that the board of directors is trying to achieve its objectives.” he began to say.
He emphasized that all Barcelona players are committed to winning titles and it is a challenging task to balance these ambitions, especially given the club’s financial situation.
“The objectives are not only to have an economic situation that allows signings but to achieve a competitive squad because no Barça player wants to give up titles.” he added.
This is not the time to ask for resignation
While acknowledging the delay in obtaining registrations, Freixa said he does not believe it is the right time to demand the board’s resignation.
“I have no doubt that the Barça board has tried to achieve the goal. The truth is that at the moment they have not achieved it, and that surprises and worries us, but I do not think it is the time to ask for resignations.”
He believes that those who want Laporta to resign should follow the appropriate channels by initiating a motion of censure, as stated in the club’s statutes.
Freixa noted that if someone believes such a measure is necessary, they should collect signatures and enough support to call a vote.
“If someone considers that a motion of censure is appropriate, signatures must be collected and deputies must be called to vote,” said.
He recalled that this process is part of the club’s democratic procedures and suggested that if this does not happen, members will have the opportunity to vote within a year and a half, as is usual at Barcelona.
