Former Barcelona president Joan Laporta says he will be ready should he decide to run for this summer's election.
Laporta is in no hurry to announce his intentions, especially when the exact date of the elections is still unknown.
In a statement made at the doors of his law firm, Laporta said that he will announce, in due course, the decision that he has taken.
"I am ready, I look forward to doing it and in due course I will decide," insisted Laporta, who was Barcelona's president between 2003 and 2010.
