Former Barcelona president Joan Laporta has stated his desire to run again for presidency in 2021.
Laporta, who was president between 2003 and 2010, oversaw one of the most successful eras in Barcelona's history, which included four league titles, two Champions Leagues, one Club World Cup, and in basketball, two league titles and one EuroLeague, among other successes.
"We want to recover the club's prestige," Laporta stated on Gol.
"I'm gathering people to present a project. I'm getting more and more excited.
"I'd like to come back; I'm looking forward to it and I have a margin.
"I will decide at the end of this year or next year.
"Barcelona is the club of the three billion: one billion income, one billion expenses and one billion debt.
"We have to think very well about how to reverse the club's precarious economic situation, as it looks like the expected revenues may not be reached.
"It's a project I have in mind. It is possible to present a credible proposal that serves to improve Barcelona's institutional image."
This interview comes off the back of six Barcelona board members resigning, which included former vice-president Emili Rousaud.

He hit the nail on the head...Barcelona is a club of three billion Euros! No better expression sums up the deep rooted financial malaise at the club.

what Barcelona needs now is the combination of Xavi Iniesta as Coach and assistant, Puyol as Abida's replacement, and a coach like Setien to coach la masia with a solid president that can take bold steps like Madrid's Perez.
