Jaume Roures, the founder of Mediapro, gave an interview to 'El Partidazo' on Cadena COPE on Monday. 

Roures, a Barcelona fan, analysed matters currently relevant to the club, such as Lionel Messi's contract renewal and Neymar's departure. 

Despite president Josep Maria Bartomeu's explanations, Roures feels there's a reason Messi's still not signed the renewal he agreed in July. 

"If Messi's still not signed there's a reason why," he said. "He doesn't want to appear in the [contract signing] photograph when it's not the moment."

On Neymar, he said: "In July I already knew that Neymar was going to leave Barcelona. Last year there was an agreement between Neymar and PSG and the player broke it."

 

Finally, on Agusti Benedito's vote of no confidence, he said: "I don't think Benedito is an alternative to the current board."
