Joan Laporta

Speaking of Haaland, he is a player who has enormous quality and is a true 'number nine.' On a football level, he is a player who would always be interesting to any big team.

Barca has to regain its credibility. We must have a presence to intervene in decision-making that affects football in general.

Koeman is a cule and a reference point for Barcelona.

What we want to strengthen is the team we have that plays based on a genuine Barca system.

I want it to be clearly understood that we prioritise the team above all else, a reinforced team in each of its lines and what we do not participate in is elevating players or looking for players who are more than the team.

I trust the people around me.

My opinion of Xavi as a coach is that he is fine, he is in an interesting process.

Great players have passed through Barcelona, __the best in their time, but Leo is special.

Ferran Torres has shown a lot of desire to come to Barca and I want to thank him.

These players who have signed for clubs like PSG have almost signed their slavery. For money.

Who doesn't love Neymar? He is an exceptional player.

We told Koeman we were trying to sign Kun Aguero, any coach would want to have him in their squad. Kun's signing is important because he is an exceptional player, he plays in a position that is very important in any system and in ours too.

Leo wants to win titles, not just to earn money.

I have a very good relationship with Leo.

We have to reform how European football works.

I consider him the best footballer in history. Leo is so much more than just that. In my opinion all players, when they win many titles and generate so much for the club, deserve to be valued accordingly.

With Xavi I speak frequently because we are friends.

I can only say that Leo has been the best player in the history of Barca.

Leo knows that at Barca he always has his home.

With Messi, anything is possible.

Barca because of its history is already attractive, the club's aspirations every season make it attractive, and there were players who wanted to come to Barca and who were willing to come to Barca for less money.

Pep will be whatever he wants to be at Barca.

He's a coach with extraordinary knowledge, who loves the club loads, he feels it, he has exceptional bravery and charisma, so for me, in the collective imagination of Barca, Pep Guardiola will always be present. Just like Cruyff will always be present.

Pep has sufficient character, Pep has never stopped feeling a cule , and that's normal because as a player he was there from the youth team, before achieving maximum success as a player and as a coach.

Whoever knows me is aware that I always assume responsibility and look for solutions.

I can bring back the joy to Barcelona's fans because I have the experience of having already done so.

When you finish an era it's normal that the leading figures should leave.

I am sure our fans, our members - the owners of the club - are more than happy with this global alliance with UNHCR because we have shown to the world our heart. We have shown to the world our soul.

The advantage of these great players who become great coaches is that they immediately know their moment.

As I see it, Xavi can stay here as long as he wants. One thing that happens is: As he knows the institution perfectly well and loves Barca, he knows at all times what he is contributing.

The weight, strength and value of an entity with more than 122 years of history is a lot.

We want the post-Messi era to be very successful and I think that it will be.

A lot of clubs would like Eto'o in their team.

Kaka is a very good player, a very good talent, but the price that Real Madrid has paid for him is not the market price.

It's a disgrace that we have to let our international players go to national teams and we don't receive any compensation.

A lot of Catalans are supporters of Barca, which is kind of like a Catalonian national team.

It's not difficult to convince UEFA or FIFA that, with an independent Catalonia, Barca could play in a major league like the French one or others. But I think that the most intelligent thing would be to maintain the Clasico.

The Clasico is of great value to La Liga and I think all of us will be very intelligent together in order to maintain the status quo of the Iberian league between the states of Catalonia and Spain.

It is clear that we want an increasingly powerful team. We will go all out, but we will not do any operation that puts the institution at risk.

I would like to be president of football club Barcelona, look at the accounts, know perfectly what the possibilities are that we have to give him an economic proposal.

When we meet, Messi always is telling me that 'you always did what you said you would,' and this is something that I am very proud of and I don't want to lose.

I take calculated risks.

Winning s a universal human motivation.

We want to generate new opportunities for growth.

Our goal is to win titles and to make our fans happy, but we also have to profit from opportunities in the sports industry.

We do not have big corporations or shareholders behind us. That forces us to be imaginative, innovative, brave and be a step ahead in many areas that surround the sports industry.

We want to create our own cryptocurrency and we have to do that ourselves.

I'm enthusiastic about Dembele. He's a better player than Kylian Mbappe.

Leo surprises continuously. You see him and he does things that are unique.

To have a player who is the best player in the history of football, but also one who has the humility that Leo has, we have seen him mature and it's fantastic. He is a personality, a great man.
