Jose Elias does not rule out becoming a director or even president of Barça

Businessman, former guarantor of Joan Laporta and former member of the Espai Barça commission. José Elias stated in the program “Què t’hi Jugues”: from SER Catalunya, which is considering the possibility of “investing” in Barcelona depending on who will be the club’s manager, and does not even rule out becoming a candidate for the presidency of the club at some point.

Elias assures that “Barça is one of the most influential brands

what is in the world. I am, by my own admission, a culé, although many may not like it. I would invest depending on the sentiment and potential of the brand, depending on who was at the helm.”

He reveals that “I received several calls in both senses,” referring to the possibility of becoming a director or president in the future. “TOhour yes, I could nominate someone, because I have time to devote myself. I have never ruled it out, I love being associated with Barça because it is in my heart. I completely ruled out a second (presidency), and three weeks ago it didn’t occur to me.”

However, now he no longer rules it out and explain why: “It’s not in my plans at the moment, but after watching the Nunes series, what I loved“I said, ‘Why not? With two balls.” Thus he concludes: “I have ruled out self-denial introduce yourself for life. I ruled it out, but opened the door. As for the candidacy, there is a lot of suspicion, and it depends on who you go with.”
