Laporta: Koeman was impeccable and understood not signing Eric Garcia
The former Barça president spoke to Catalunya Radio on Sunday with the other candidates
It's exactly one month until Barcelona elect a new president and the candidates are stepping up their campaigns ahead of the March 7 polling date.
The show 'Tot Gira' on Catalunya Radio spoke on Sunday with the three men in the running, Toni Freixa, Víctor Font and Joan Laporta.
Freixa accused Font of wanting to pay money to Manchester City's Ferran Soriano and criticised the threatening letter Laporta sent to acting president Carles Tusquets.
Font, meanwhile, assured once again that having Xavi Hernandez involved in his project will ensure that Lionel Messi continues at Camp Nou.
Speaking last, Laporta made reference to the famous meeting with the acting board to discuss the possible signing of Eric Garcia in January.
"Koeman was impeccable when he was with us," Laporta said of the Barça coach. "He understood the reasoning not to sign Eric Garcia.
"For sporting and financial consistency and because the statues says it's not possible (for the club to make signings without a president in place)."
On Barça's hopes of catching Atletico Madrid in La Liga, he added: "I believe in this league. There are no transition seasons."
