According to Tasnim news agency and quoted from Sport; It had been heard for some time and there were rumors about it, but again it seemed impossible that this would happen, but it seems that the matter is quite serious! Yesterday (Friday), a source close to the Barcelona club announced that the president, Juan Laporta, in continuation of his policies to reduce costs and the big financial crisis that the blue and oranges are dealing with, has decided to close the taxi service for the young footballers of the La Masia football school, which Cancel the stay outside the city of Barcelona. In this way, this group of players must either be brought to Lamasia Academy by their parents or take the bus to their destination.
The total number of taxis that brought this group of young players to Ciutat Sportiva’s training complex every week from Monday to Friday was 30, and from 25 years ago until today, the club considered it its duty to at least provide easy transportation for its young talents. but now it seems that Laporta has decided to turn his back on this old club tradition just to reduce a few thousand euros from the club’s monthly expenses; While much heavier expenses are spent on unnecessary parts of the club.
In the end, what seems certain is that the damage caused by the tarnishing of the club’s image is greater than the benefit that the Catalans get from the income from this small saving, that too in an important project like La Masia 360 – a project that Laporta was able to advertise about. They will get a lot of votes in the election of the president of the club.
