Yuste Expresses Interest in Barcelona Presidency

Before the official power handover on July 1st, when Joan Laporta began his new mandate as FC Barcelona president, Rafael Yuste spoke to 'El Món' of RAC1 and positioned himself as a potential successor. The former interim president made his intentions clear, saying "No sólo no lo descarto, sino que me gustaría porque me siento querido" (Not only do I not rule it out, but I would like to because I feel loved).

Yuste has been serving as president since the elections on March 15th, and his public statement marks the first clear indication of his ambitions to continue leading the club beyond Laporta's current term. afnews.co.za
