Victor Font, the candidate for the presidency of FC Barcelona, made strong statements as part of his election campaign, during which he confirmed that the first step he would take if he wins the elections would be to contact Lionel Messi, in an attempt to repair the relationship between the club and its historical legend.

Font's statements come before the presidential elections scheduled for March 15, which the club's board recently approved, despite Font's reservations about the timing of their occurrence. He also emphasized the readiness of his campaign and his determination to compete until the end, while demanding the maximum possible participation of members.

Font directed sharp criticisms at the current president Joan Laporta's administration, considering that the elections represent a choice between two different models of club management: one is “personal and traditional” relying on one individual, and the other is “collective and transparent” aiming to attract talents and build a long-term institutional project.

Despite praising the positive atmosphere the team is experiencing under the leadership of Hans Flick, Font expressed his concern about the club's administrative and financial situation, accusing the current administration of mismanagement and lack of transparency, in addition to damaging Barcelona's relations with its historical icons, primarily Messi and Xavi Hernandez.

Font confirmed that rebuilding the relationship with Leo Messi is a top priority, indicating that he has a clear plan to achieve this, and stressed the necessity of protecting the future of the new generation, led by Lamine Yamal, to avoid repeating past mistakes.

On the sports front, Font renewed his full support for coach Hans Flick, promising to provide a professional administrative structure that does not rely on one or two individuals, but on a comprehensive system that serves the stability and future success of the team.
