Mateu Alemany to step down from role as Barcelona’s Director of Football at the end of the season

Mateu Alemany, who has been serving as the Director of Football at Barcelona for the past two years, will be leaving the role at the end of the current season. The announcement was made by the club following their victory over Osasuna on Tuesday. Despite having a contract that was set to expire in 2024, Alemany has informed the Barcelona president, Joan Laporta, of his intention to pursue a new professional project.

In a statement released on the club’s official website, it was stated that Alemany will complete the summer transfer market with the club, even if it should be at the final moments of the transfer window. Alemany has played a key role in the process of bringing Lionel Messi back to Barcelona, and it seems that he will see that through, despite announcing his decision to leave.

With Alemany’s departure, Barcelona will now look to reorganize their football department. It is not yet known who will take over as the club’s next Director of Football. However, the Catalan club is expected to name a new person soon, as the transfer window is fast approaching and they need to have a plan in place for the summer.

Alemany has been praised for his role in helping Barcelona secure some crucial signings during his tenure. His departure comes at a time when the club is looking to rebuild after a challenging season, where they failed to win any major trophies. With a new Director of Football set to be named soon, Barcelona will be hoping to make some shrewd signings in the upcoming transfer window and build a team that can challenge for titles in the future.
