Vilajoana Launches Solo Barcelona Bid, Assails Laporta Over Finances and Palau Timing

He is positioning himself as a standalone alternative focused on Laporta’s ethics and financial record.

Overview

  • He opened a campaign headquarters near the Spotify Camp Nou in a building that also houses offices of Limak and New Era Vision Group, two partners criticized during Laporta’s tenure.
  • He ruled out forming a joint opposition ticket and said he has not even spoken with some precandidates.
  • He accused Laporta of using the club for personal benefit and condemned both the post-resignation visit to the training ground and the last‑minute Palau Blaugrana announcement.
  • He argued the club is worse off than in 2021, citing €280 million in accumulated losses and contending that without asset sales losses would approach €1 billion.
  • He said he aims to gather the 2,337 member signatures required to qualify and expressed confidence after missing the threshold by about 200 in 2021.
