Javier Tebas: "Joan Laporta has already been a great Barcelona president"

The president of the LFP, Javier Tebas, has welcomed the idea of Joan Laporta running for the presidency at Barcelona again.

Tebas said: "He's already been a great president for Barcelona.

"He left Barça, at least sportingly speaking, in a really good situation.

"He's free to present himself for the role again and if the club think they need a second spell with him, so be it."

Laporta himself has refused to rule out running for another term.

A court this week dismissed Barcelona's case against him, although Josep Maria Bartomeu confirmed on Friday the club would appeal the decision.
