Why Barcelona director of football leaves at end of the season?

FC Barcelona announced the departure of its sporting director, Matteo Alemani, at the end of the current season, although he has a contract that runs until the end of the 2024 season. The 60-year-old will depart to begin a new unspecified professional project after two years in the job. Mateu Alemany has decided to leave the LaLiga team at the end of the season, a year before his contract officially runs out. Barca added that Alemany had agreed to complete the first team's transfer business in the close season despite formally arranging to leave the club on July 1. "(Barcelona) President (Joan) Laporta has accepted this departure due to Mateu’s commitment to conduct the summer transfer business until the last moment and to be able to be consulted by the club whenever necessary," Barca said in a statement. Alemani had started his journey with Barca after Juan Laporta won the presidency of Barcelona, and he adjusted the salary bill as well as worked on the deals he brought to the team. It is expected that Barcelona will soon announce changes in the executive structure of football. On the other hand, Alemani will go to the English Premier League. According Fabrizio Romano,the  freelance Italian journalist who specialises in football transfers, the closest interface is Aston Villa with coach Unai Emery. Barcelona came close to achieving the La Liga title after its victory over Osasuna, moved to 82 points from 33 matches and extended their lead to 14 points over second-placed Real Madrid.
