Laporta, the key for Messi to continue in Barcelona?

Today is the day. This Sunday, March 7, so awaited by all the Catalans. After many years under the disastrous mandate of Josep Maria Bartomeu, and a few months with Carles Tusquets at the head of the Management Board, at last FC Barcelona will once again set up the greatest placer of Europe. Everything indicates that it will be Joan Laporta, favorite in most polls, the one who wins the triple fight with Toni Freixa and Víctor Font and, without a doubt, one of those who may be most happy about this victory is Leo Messi, who will fight for Barcelona to become again one of the greatest soccer powers on the world scene.

The Argentine star has been uncomfortable for a long time at Barça, due to the last leaders who have been to the club's midfielders. Messi is a person who needs to be surrounded by people who make him happy to be comfortable in the team and Laporta's return to the presidency can influence this. At least in terms of credibility in their relationship.

One of the accusations of the Rosario player, to the previous president was that he lied to him on multiple occasions, especially in the matter of signings. In this case, Laporta plays with the advantage of the seven years shared in the past (2003-2010) as the basis for a bond of trust between both parties. And, in the sports project proposal that they want to offer Messi, this is very important.

As reported a few days ago by El Chiringuito, Joan Laporta would have spoken with Leo Messi after the comeback in the Copa del Rey against Sevilla to congratulate him and show him some touches of his idea if he win the elections. And within them would be the promise that he will try, by all means, the signing of Erling Haaland. The Norwegian is, along with Kylian Mbappé, the sensation of the moment and the footballer of the future, so Barça would like to have a footballer of such caliber and projection in their ranks.

Messi knows of his potential and could be a reason to stay and trust Laporta's plan at the helm. The idea of the former president and current candidate is to set up a competitive team that seduces Leo to follow his idyllic love story with Barcelona. In addition to money, an aspect in which they must also reach an agreement, it that Messi has to see that in Barcelona he will continue to win important titles in the years that remain of his career, so that the arrival of Haaland to the squad culé supposes an increase of the possibilities.

The relationship with the representative of the Norwegian, Mino Raiola, is also splendid on the part of Laporta, and he has already assured from time to time that they will seriously consider the possibility of going for him. It has a market value of 110 million euros (via Transfermarkt), but a clause for next year may lower its price. It will be tough negotiations, but if Laporta wins the elections, manages to convince Messi to stay at the club, and signing Haaland, could be a great start to a new era at Can Barça.
