Barça is going through a new zone of turbulence, this time linked to Raphinha's recent statements about the “Olmo case”. While preparing in Jeddah for the Spanish Super Cup, President Joan Laporta was seen speaking briefly with the Brazilian winger on the training ground. A scene captured by journalist Abraham P. Romero, where Laporta seemed to lead the conversation while carefully controlling his gestures in front of the cameras. Officially, this discussion had no connection with the day's press conference, but the tense context surrounding Raphinha's remarks was enough to fuel speculation. “If I were in another club, I would think twice before coming here,” said the player, a comment which did not fail to cause a lot of noise in the corridors of the Camp Nou, as revealed by the daily Sports World, to the point of seeing tensions arise.
Internal tensions?
If Laporta was not yet aware of these statements at the time of their exchange, the crisis now seems well established. Raphinha spoke about the difficulties players like Dani and Pau Víctor are facing in this situation, while calling for quick resolutions. However, his words convey a palpable unease, reinforcing the idea of a fractured locker room. At a time when Barça is trying to maintain a united image on and off the pitch, this affair casts a shadow over the internal management of the club. While the thorny issue of Olmo's transfer remains unresolved, this new episode highlights a growing tension between sporting ambitions and the structural challenges facing the Catalan giant.
