Barça meeting between Laporta and Pascual postponed

The planned meeting between Joan Laporta and Xavi Pascual has been postponed to next week, contrary to earlier reports.

Despite initial reports suggesting a meeting would occur this week, the face-to-face between Barça president elect Joan Laporta and basketball coach Xavi Pascual has been delayed. Laporta hopes to convince Pascual to reconsider his decision to leave the club at the end of the season. esporist.org

The postponement suggests the urgency of the situation may not be as high as initially thought. Pascual, who coaches Barça's first basketball team, had previously announced his intention to depart at season's end, leaving Laporta with the task of attempting to change his mind.
