Barcelona woes continue as their sporting director announced his intentions to leave the club.
Barcelona announced that sporting director Mateu Alemany will leave the club at the end of the current season to pursue a new professional project.
Alemany replaced Ramon Planes as the Barcelona director of football following the emergence of Joan Laporta as club president and spearheaded a chain of operations that stabilised the club after it was declared "clinically dead" by Laporta, endearing himself to the Blaugrana faithful.
Alemany's exit
The Catalan giants announced today via their official channels that Alemany has informed Laporta of his intentions to leave the role despite having a contract until 2024.
However, he is expected to remain involved as Barcelona navigate through the coming summer transfer window.
The club says they will announce changes in their football executive structure once Alemany's departure has been finalised.
