Sources have revealed that Laporta was absent from the scene of Barcelona's season finale, which came as a bit of a surprise to fans.
However, just a day before the match, Laporta and Xavi called an urgent secret meeting with all the members of the sports committee present. In this closed-door meeting, Sporting Director Deco took the lead, not only to review the season's glories and woes, but also to conduct an in-depth analysis of the squad and provide a strategic vision for the coming season's personnel changes.
Xavi's team joined the discussion, including his own brother and assistant coach Oscar. The decision of the meeting rests with Laporta, but any resolution will need to be unanimously endorsed by the board.
Despite not being able to witness the home side's season finale, Laporta is planning to travel to Bilbao at the weekend to support Barcelona Women's in the Champions League final.
