Deco Has clear how throw to walk his plan at the head of the sportive direction of the FC Barcelona. Without the figure of Mateu Alemany in the organisation chart culé, the ex mediocentro of the Barça has full powers to take decisions and, after his return to Catalonia, foresees to gather with Xavi Hernández to begin to take decisions in his area. In principle, the priority of the luso is to resolve the pending renewals in the first team, as the aim is 'tie' to all the referents.
Of the same way, Deco aims to define the leaf of route of the Barça for the next wintry market. The economic urgencies of the club complicate the arrival of some reinforcement in January, but the sportive director will take into account the opinion of the egarense to define if it is or no urgent fichar to somebody in winter. For the moment, the club only has foreseen to incorporate to Vitor Roque, a pending operation of several movements to expand the margin salarial.
The Barça does not contemplate signings, except some grave injury
This panorama does that, for now, the directive with have on the table the possibility of fichar or sell to anybody in January. A lot it has spoken of the need to go to by a pivote, but the 'Fair Play' financial does not give margin for this. In this sense, Deco thinks that the best is to keep intact to the staff, with the only addition of Vitor Roque, as long as it do not produce any drop by grave injury in the next two months that force to look for a signing 'low cost', in whose case will bet by a footballer that can arrive free.
Regarding renewals, the club is satisfied for having resolved the new contrados of Alejandro Balde and Lamine Yamal, but does not want to lose time to begin to renegotiate the extensions of referents like Ronald Araújo, Gavi, Pedri and Frenkie of Jong. No less important is to define the future of the Joaos, whose performance has convinced to the Barça to bet by his continuity, although the only form to attain this is renewing his loans by another season.
The Barça if it expects important sales in summer
Further of how much can miss to Mateu Alemany, Xavi will not have problems to begin to work hand manually with Deco. Although some recent operations (the signing of Joao Félix) did not have his total approval, the míster of Terrassa trusts the capacity of Deco to take decisions that benefit to the sportive project that leads the Catalan trainer, considering the complex financial panorama culé.
Thinking in the summer, so much the egarense like the luso are conscious of the need to listen offers by several figures. The Barça only will be able to fichar in the summer estival if concrete important sales, by which will be necessary to open the door to players like Andreas Christensen, Oriol Romeu, Ferran Torres or Raphinha, among others footballers that can leave several 'kilos' in box. Claro is, this will define once culminate the 2023/24, according to the aims that reach the team.
