Víctor Font appeared on RTVE Catalunya’s Café de ideas in early March while campaigning for FC Barcelona’s presidency. The exchange matters because the club’s vote on 15 March 2026 could alter leadership, transfer authority and ongoing projects.
Policy priorities and personnel
Font said he is optimistic about the election and stated that Hansi Flick would remain as head coach under his administration, with promises of stability and support for signings.
He also disclosed that his group has held talks with Lionel Messi’s entourage but has not contacted the player directly; Font expressed a wish to see Messi return to play for the club as a possibility rather than a confirmed outcome.
He called for municipal approval for a match against Sevilla on 15 March, a permit that remains uncertain.
Governance, contracts and finances
Font challenged the current leadership’s financial claims, pointing to unchanged ordinary debt and citing an Espai Barça figure he presented. He accused Alejandro Echevarría of exerting heavy influence at the club and said Echevarría is linked to the Fundación Francisco Franco. Font proposed breaking a contract with the Republic of the Congo on human rights grounds.
Allegations about commissions and third-party payments were mentioned by Font but are not independently verified here. The position he outlined frames the presidential contest as a potential turning point for club governance, medical appointments and asset-sale strategies.
