Barcelona fans are furious with club president Joan Laporta and his board over the registration debacle involving summer signings Dani Olmo and Pau Victor.
A fan group, “Som un Clam,” has openly called for Laporta’s resignation, citing poor management and broken promises.
The Catalan club, already struggling financially, is now under fire for its failure to register two key players for the second half of the season.
The controversy has reignited doubts about Laporta’s leadership and whether he can steer Barcelona back to stability.
In a scathing letter, Joan Camprubi Montal, president of “Som un Clam,” labeled the situation as “amateur and erratic.” He accused Laporta of jeopardizing the team’s performance and the club’s long-term future. The group also urged fans to mobilize and demand accountability.
Barcelona fans turn against Laporta
Once viewed as a savior following the turbulent Bartomeu era, Laporta now faces growing criticism. Fans on social media have expressed their disappointment, accusing him of selling the club’s future for short-term gains.
One fan wrote, “Laporta has only brought false hope. He’s a true politician, all promises and no results.” Another added, “He used Messi’s name to get elected, and since then, he’s only damaged the club.”
The financial impact of the Dani Olmo saga could cost Barcelona over $340 million, adding to the frustration. While Olmo’s agent has assured that the player is willing to stay, his future with the team remains uncertain.
What’s next for Barcelona?
Barcelona’s next game in the Copa del Rey could be overshadowed by ongoing unrest.
Meanwhile, the board continues to scramble for solutions to register Olmo and Victor. Whether they succeed or not, the damage to Laporta’s reputation might be irreversible.
