"Font argued that the financial levers later pulled with Sixth Street proved that retaining Messi was always a possibility, had there been a plan. "Barça had the potential to retain Messi in 2021, but we got to June promising that he would be renewed at a barbecue... The moment for the signing to be made official arrived, and it didn't happen," Font explained."
"He claims the administration was caught unprepared and forced to choose between La Liga's CVC deal and Florentino Perez's Super League vision. "That's when Tebas came up with the CVC issue... But when you don't plan anything, you end up at the mercy of Tebas and CVC. So, he sat down with Tebas, Alejandro Echevarría, and Jaume Roures," he said. Font levelled further allegations against Laporta, accusing him of choosing Florentino Perez over Lionel Messi.a"
Victor Font launched the cross-party platform 'Nosaltres' and shifted from a conciliatory approach to an aggressive challenge against Joan Laporta. Font criticised Laporta's handling of Lionel Messi's 2021 exit, alleging priority given to an alliance with Real Madrid and the Super League over retaining Messi. Font asserted that financial moves involving Sixth Street showed retention was possible with proper planning. The administration was unprepared and compelled to choose between La Liga's CVC deal and Florentino Perez's Super League vision. Font named figures involved in negotiations, including Javier Tebas, Alejandro Echevarría and Jaume Roures, and alleged an agreed plan turned into a refusal influenced by Florentino.
