""It's a natural step. My father was a board member, I was a futsal player and then a board member under the last three presidents (Laporta, Rosell, and Bartomeu) with responsibilities in futsal, youth development, La Masia, and the women's team. "That's 21 years linked to the club, which leaves a huge mark on you." The pre-candidate defined his project as the result of "knowledge, experience, and passion" for an institution that, in his view, "is not the Barça we want today.""
""The club has become his stolen Masia. We have a man at the helm who is sailing aimlessly, without strategy or seriousness. I don't see any of the values that have made us great.""
""The members are worried about the 4 billion. Nobody is explaining anything to them. They call and get no answer. The feeling is that the club is hiding, and there must be a reason for that.""
Xavi Vilajoana formally announced a pre-candidacy for the FC Barcelona presidential elections under the slogan "Ready to recover our Barça." He presented a proposal he called powerful, necessary, and focused on returning members to the center of club decision-making. Vilajoana emphasized 21 years of personal ties to the club across futsal, youth development, La Masia, and the women’s team, describing his project as rooted in knowledge, experience, and passion. He sharply criticized Joan Laporta’s leadership, accused the board of lacking strategy and seriousness, and raised concerns about opacity around a reported €4 billion debt.
