Barca President Reacts To Rivals Real Signing Mbappe
FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta has taken a slight dig at Real Madrid 's transfer policy after their acquisition of Kylian Mbappe .
FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta has reacted to their bitter rivals Real Madrid acquiring Kylian Mbappe's services earlier this week.After a 2022/23 season that included only a Copa del Rey title, Los Blancos returned to the summit of Spanish and European football in 2023/24 as they capped off this past campaign by winning both the LALIGA and the UEFA Champions League titles.
Real prised the league title away from their eternal adversaries Barca, and less than 48 hours after defeating Borussia Dortmund in the European Cup final, Los Merengues announced that Mbappe had signed a five-year deal with the club as he completed his long-awaited move to the Spanish capital.
Laporta has since commented on Mbappe's arrival at Real, claiming that it does not bode well for his team.However, he did caveat that statement by saying he prefers to stick to Barca's model of producing superstars of their own."We wanted to win the Champions League, go to the final in basketball, but regarding Mbappe, I like our sporting philosophy of forming a team with local players. I respect what the rivals do, but I'll stick with our philosophy.
