What were Josep Bartomeu and Jordi Cruyff doing together?
They were spotted together on Monday in a Barcelona street
It was a few hours before the president announced Valverde as the new coach
In these pages we warned that pressure is increasing in the offices of Aristides Mayol, with urgency on the work of Robert Fernandez (buys) and Raul Sanllehi (sales). It is a key moment in the planning of the next season. No mistakes can be made and Bartomeu believes there’s room for improvement on what was achieved in previous summers.
Meanwhile, hours before the press conference in which Bartomeu announced Valverde would be coach, he was spotted with Jordi Cruyff in Sarrria-Sant Gervasi. They were chatting quietly on the street. Did they arrange to meet or was it a coincidence? Were they speaking of the foundation, charity, or the director of football? Jordi and Bartomeu were also approached by fans interested in their meeting.
Jordi Cruyff has become an object of desire and a person who, sooner or later, will return to the club because of his ‘ancestry’, his career and his experience.
