Victor Font has maintained a prominent connection with FC Barcelona in recent years. Best known for his 2021 presidential bid against Joan Laporta, he remains a vocal critic of the club’s current management.
Most recently, following the news of the imminent exit of Inigo Martinez, Font used the X platform to say his goodbyes to the Spanish defender, but also used the opportunity to criticise Barça’s current management for the club’s situation with registrations and finances.
Regarding Martinez, he said:
“Farewell to a player who had become an idol. Thank you for everything, Iñigo.”
As for the club’s management, he had much more to talk about:
“Fifth summer transfer window, the last of the term, and we still have no registration capacity, selling key players, and unable to sign the players the sporting management prioritises. Let them not fool us by saying that the economic situation has normalised.”
Before concluding his tweet, the former FC Barcelona presidential candidate made sure to state that the club can be managed properly, implying that it could be done with the right people in charge:
“Barça can be managed well!”
While this is definitely some vocal criticism, it is not without reason. No president or club management is perfect, and it is fair to call out the inabilities of the people in charge at the club when they make blunders or even promises that are not kept.
When it comes to Laporta’s presidency, there has been a lot of fair criticism in recent times. However, at least for now, he remains in charge of leading the club towards a better future, and it is also important to acknowledge that not every decision taken during his tenure is necessarily a bad one.
Adeu a un jugador que s’havia convertit en un ídol. Gràcies per tot, Iñigo.Cinquè mercat d’estiu, el darrer del mandat, i seguim sense capacitat d’inscripció, venent jugadors que son clau i sense poder fitxar els jugadors que la direcció esportiva prioritza. Que no ens enganyin… pic.twitter.com/6Dc4ffLdcD— Víctor Font (@victor_font) August 7, 2025
