The race for Barcelona’s presidency is heating up, and the coming weeks promise plenty of intrigue for the club’s members.
With just over two weeks until voting, candidates are working overtime to craft the messages that could win them support.
Stability and continuity remain the most repeated talking points among the frontrunners.
For Joan Laporta, that means backing Hansi Flick and highlighting the encouraging results under his tenure.
Even rivals Victor Font, Marc Ciria, and Xavi Vilajoana have expressed public support for Flick’s continuation, showing unusual alignment across the field.
One name has suddenly resurfaced in whispers around the club’s headquarters.
Luis Enrique, currently under contract with Paris Saint-Germain until 2027, is being positioned by at least one pre-candidate as a potential long-term coaching project.
Sources close to SPORT, the move is designed to spark excitement among members who fondly recall his previous successes at the club.
Enrique’s attacking style, winning mentality, and European pedigree make him an attractive figure in the eyes of voters.
Though it’s unclear whether the proposal is a serious long-term plan or an electoral tactic, mentioning Luis Enrique signals ambition and taps into nostalgia for a golden era.
Internally, there’s recognition that the Spaniard has long considered a return to Barcelona, keeping the door open for a future spell at the Spotify Camp Nou.
For now, the coming fortnight will determine whether this idea gains traction or remains a footnote in the election’s closing stages.
Either way, Barcelona’s presidential battle is shaping up to be more dramatic than ever, with Luis Enrique’s name promising to dominate conversations in the final stretch.
