              Barcelona presidential favourite Victor Font says a clear plan to bring back the glory days to La Liga giants involves the old Barca dynasty of the likes of Pep Guardiola, Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Carles Puyol breathing new life into the current one.


              Current president Josep Maria Bartomeu resigned earlier this week, along with his board of directors, ahead of an expected vote of no confidence next month.


              It comes after months of widespread criticism over the club's worsening finances and the team's decline on the pitch, which came to a head with their 8-2 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-finals in August.


              Font has quickly become the frontrunner to succeed Bartomeu and exclusively told Sky Sports News he has a clear plan to bring back the glory days to La Liga giants involving the old Barca dynasty breathing new life into the current one.


              "Replacing the best generation the world of football has ever seen, which I believe we have had over the last decade, is a big challenge," Font said.


              "Particularly at a time when competition is intense and many clubs are owned by very powerful owners.


              "FC Barcelona also need a significant investment to rebuild the stadium and all in a world which has been hit with one of the worst crises ever (coronavirus).
