The negotiations for the possible signing of Dani Olmo and Nico Williams have confirmed that an important Barça figure will not be on the tour. The one absent from the tour is a key person in the negotiations for incorporations in this summer market
The FC Barcelona players traveled to the United States accompanied by their coach Hansi Flick and the president of the Catalan institution, Joan Laporta. However, a very important figure for the team has not been able to leave with the group, as he is a key piece in the negotiations to obtain the signings of Nico Williams and Dani Olmo. Currently, Barça is focused on reaching these two agreements during the summer market.
Deco is absent from the American tour, since the sports director of the Blaugrana club plans to remain in the Catalan capital for another week. In that sense, the manager, who seemed to perhaps be able to travel in the final part of the expedition, once he has resolved the issue of transfers, finally seems that he will not travel to North America. At this moment, the Portuguese is waiting for the final response from Nico, who still has not spoken and who has not yet confirmed his final decision to either Athletic or Barcelona. Until that happens, the former Blaugrana midfielder will maintain hope of his signing.
The sports director has several fronts open
In addition to the Williams theme, Deco is awaiting the possible incorporation of another of the 'Red' stars. In this context, the Barça manager hopes that RB Leipzig accepts Barça's conditions for Olmo. At the moment, the Germans have rejected the two offers that the Catalans have sent, so everything is blocked.
It is said that Red Bull would only be willing to agree to the transfer for exactly 60 million, not one euro less. At Barcelona, however, they do not want to reach that figure and hope to be able to sign the Catalan for a little less. The negotiation will continue throughout this coming weekend and the following week, so Deco still has work pending and will not be able to move from Barcelona.
