Barcelona presidential candidate Victor Font has lamented the way that the Blaugrana went after Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar this summer.
"It's been ridiculous," Font said when asked about the Neymar saga.
"I don't understand what's been done, or how it's been done, or why. I already explained in the summer that Neymar's time [at Barcelona] was a bygone era, and that his return could help the chances of winning in the short-term.
"It's another example of the lack of a project currently at the club. We were willing to offer [Ousmane] Dembele and I don't know how many more. It's been ridiculous at an institutional level.
"Every time that I can ask the club for transparency, I will. What is the real level of the club's debt? How much do we owe and to whom?
"Players have been given wage rises that will still be in place when this board is gone. And let's not talk about the Espai Barca [the Future Camp Nou], which is where it is because there are no resources.
"To make the team stronger with Neymar, mortgaging the future... it does not make sense. And I haven't even discussed the most important part about how Neymar left [in 2017]: by suing the club."
