Although he was not the club's president at the time, Laporta was in the polls to be the Blaugrana president for a second stint, however, he lost to Josep Maria Bartomeu.
He revealed that he held a meeting with the player's agent that year, and Bernardo's move to Barcelona was nearly a done deal. He also suggested they will go again for him this summer if LaLiga accepts their viability plan.
