Each body: Laporta & Ronald Koeman had dinner together, the relationship between the two has been repaired

June 27th, Barcelona President Laporta attended the pre-match dinner of the 5th Koeman Cup Charity Tournament. The annual charity event was held at the Barcelona Golf Club in San Estef, Cerro Veres, with the main goal of raising funds for the Cruyff Foundation and helping disabled or vulnerable children integrate into society through sports.

Laporta reunited with Ronald Koeman at a relaxing dinner. The current Dutch national team coach, former Barcelona player and coach invited him to participate in the charity event he organized, which stems from the significant improvement in the relationship between the two in recent weeks. In fact, the Barcelona leader and Koeman have eliminated the gap that arises when the latter was fired in 2021.

From Laporta winning the Barcelona presidential election to Koeman's dismissal, the two sides had public differences many times. The fact that Coman was able to remain in the position of Camp Nou was simply because of the club's economic difficulties at the time and the failure of senior officials to reach a consensus on a successor.

Koeman is extremely dissatisfied with the club's way of firing himself, and has made public statements many times in recent years. The Dutch coach has repeatedly criticized Barcelona for treating De Jong, but Laporta and the Barcelona legend both hope to repair their relationship. They met in Barcelona a few days ago and attended the pre-match dinner of the 5th Koeman Cup this Thursday, with many sports guests on the same stage.

Previous events have attracted many sports and cultural celebrities such as Guardiola, Ricci Rubio, Julio Salinas, Angel Alonso and Miguel Angel Nadal to participate to jointly support this charity.
