Laporta warns Florentino off Barcelona stars

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has warned Florentino Perez to forget about trying to land any of his stars for Real Madrid.

Perez, who famously lured Luis Figo from the Nou Camp as part of his original Galacticos policy, refused to rule out doing it again yesterday as he confirmed his candidacy for the Real elections.

But last night, Laporta warned: "I hope he does not try it because, first, the players of Barcelona are committed to the club, and therefore he would be making an effort in vain.

"Secondly, I do not want to see our ship destabilised.

"In any case, I do not believe this will happen. Florentino Perez is a respectable man and has a sense of sportsmanship."
