Barcelona president Joan Laporta has decided to secure the future of his project at the club, with the official announcement set to be made after the La Liga title is mathematically decided.
According to sources close to the club’s boardroom, Laporta is pushing to finalize key contract extensions and structural reinforcements that will define Barcelona’s long-term sporting direction. The plan, internally referred to as “the project,” hinges on the team securing the 2025-2026 La Liga championship.
The decision comes amid growing confidence within the Camp Nou hierarchy that Xavi Hernandez’s side will clinch the league crown. Once the title is mathematically confirmed, the club will move swiftly to announce a series of measures designed to protect the core of the current squad and coaching staff.
These measures are understood to include new contracts for several first-team players whose current deals run until 2026, as well as a formal extension for head coach Xavi. Laporta views the league title as the ultimate validation of the project he launched upon returning to the presidency.
The official statement is expected to be released within 48 hours of Barcelona being crowned champions. The club wants to use the momentum of the title win to send a strong message of stability and ambition to both the fanbase and potential transfer targets.
Sources emphasize that no official announcement will be made before the league is decided. Laporta is determined to avoid any distractions during the run-in, preferring to let the football do the talking before unveiling his long-term vision for the club.
