It begins a new stage for Deco in the FC Barcelona, this time in the dispatches. It has turned into the new sportive director of the club, by the next three seasons, with the big challenge to assume all the responsibilities to sportive level of the club. It will remain without Mateu Alemany, the one who from the return of Joan Laporta to the presidency, in 2021, had done charge of the majority of operations of the blaugrana in what to signings, renewals or exits refers .
The challenge is capital. It is the first experience of Deco to level of clubs, put up to now came exerting like employer and representative of several players (Raphinha, between them, till lately). The confidence from the high spheres in him is maximum and think that will be able to be important to give continuity to the 'reconstruction' of the team. Of there that they have given him plenary of responsibilities in the sportive area.
Deco Already has pending tasks
Although you grieve now it has been announced like the new sportive director, the true is that Deco already carries several weeks working from the dispatches of the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper. It was the attendant to close, of definite way, the traspaso of Vitor Roque and has been involved in the last operations of the blaugrana, although they already came very advanced by Jordi Cruyff, his ancestor in the charge, and Mateu Alemany, with the one who will share until 2 September.
The true is that it already has pending work. In the short term, it has to close the incorporation of a right side of maximum quality. it is negotiating The cession of Joao Cancel, with option of purchase, although he in specific no descarta the alternative of Iván Fresneda. In the last days has been in constant contact with Jorge Mendes to try encarrilar the negotiations with the Manchester City, in principle. Likewise, it will try to fulfil one of the 'needs' that has Xavi: the signing of an interior that 'elevate' the category of the centre of the field. The dream was Bernardo Silva, but is about to to renew. Giovani Celso outlines like an option.
Signings and renewals to the drop
As they aim from 'Sportive World', to average term Deco and his team of work will have to begin to think in the reliefs for the staff. The ideal is to avoid that it repeat the history that lived with the mediocentro after the exit of Sergio Busquets. It has arrived Oriol Romeu, but want to have an alternative on a long-term basis. It is necessary comenzzar to look for it already... And like this it will happen with several positions in the team.
Simultaneously, it supposes a need renegotiate the agreements with several players of the first team so that they fit in the scale salarial. The most important cases are the ones of Marc-André ter Stegen and Frenkie of Jong, those who are the best paid of the staff beside Robert Lewandowski. So much the Teutonic like the Dutch have agreements that signed with Josep María Bartomeu in the presidency and the aim will be to renew them adapting his wage. Already they have begun the conversations, at least with the guardameta.
