Barcelona legend Johan Cruyff Son 'to become part of Laporta's project' if he wins election

Jordi Cruyff, son of Barcelona legend Johan Cruyff, is 'set to become part of Joan Laporta's project' if the latter wins the election, as per RAC1.

The 47-year-old would be part of Barca's new board.

Earlier, it was said by Victor Font that Jordi would join his team if he won the presidential race, but the latter dismissed those claims.

Cruyff is currently the head coach of Chinese Super League side Shenzhen FC and he used to be a sporting director at Israeli side Maccabi Tel Aviv and at a Cypriot club AEK Larnaca.

Jordi played for Barcelona between 1994 and 1996.

Barcelona's presidential election will take place on March 7.
