This Tuesday, Joan Laporta's book "How we saved Barça" went on sale, in which he explains what these five years in the presidency have been like. The now pre-candidate talks about how he had to face a chaotic economic situation that required imaginative formulas to straighten it out. MARCA has had access to this book from editorial sources and explains the main points of the book. Messi's departure When it came to negotiating the renewal, Laporta said Messi had a "demanding" team around him, although his father was more understanding. "We came up with a crazy solution: a long-term contract with a first stage as a Barca player and a second on loan to an MLS team," he said. "But LaLiga told us to forget it, that we had to sign an agreement to sell a percentage of the television rights for 50 years through a fund called CVC." Limak "For the project, we chose Limak, a Turkish construction company, for technical reasons and because of the challenge it poses for them to undertake a project of this magnitude, the first they have undertaken in the European Union. And also to avoid the risks inherent in political behavior in the case of traditional Spanish construction. Limak won because it accepted all the contractual conditions proposed by the club, conditions much more demanding than those of a standard contract in our country, especially with regard to the guarantees offered, given the need to finance the operation in the North American market. The tender procedure to award the renovation works of Spotify Camp Nou was exemplary from a technical and transparency point of view. The whole process was supervised at all times by the club's Compliance Department.
