Anderson Luis de Souza ‘deco’, sporting director of FC Barcelona, this week in an interview for Barça One defended that the focus of the summer market carried out by the Barça club is its main objective “conserving talent ” so that the squad does not lose its potential. The executive of the culé, in an interview for As, was asked about Barça’s vision facing the winter market. “We’ll see,” said Deco, postponing any decision on this until later dates. “Later, in due course, we will check and see how the situation is,” he said.
In a line of argument already expressed at Barça One, Deco emphasized his delight at having a good portion of home talent. “Finally, the whole history of Barça was made with this mix. Of players from La Masia, who came with the hunger to make history. That’s the balance to find,” he said.
The jewel in the crown also told El Hormiguero on Thursday that his dream is to become “a legend of Barça”, a perception that coincides with the mood of the club regarding its most important emerging player. “Lamine has a contract. After that everything is calm at Barcelona.” When cross-examined by As at the Thinking Football Summit, organized by the Portuguese League in Porto, Deco repeated: “Tranquility.” Lamine has a contract with Barça signed until 2026 and at the time the grounds for a longer relationship have been agreed upon as he ages, which could last until 2031.
Barcelona’s sporting director also announced that the contract extension of another key player, Pedro González ‘Pedri’, is underway. “We do that at the club,” he said. One of the requirements most important to close the signing of Dani Olmo, the only star reinforcement of the culé summer, Deco highlighted the footballer’s willingness to play for Barça. “It is very important that the players want to come. If the players want to come, it is always easier to fight for a signing. In the case of Dani it is like that. From the first day he showed that he wanted to return to Barça , which has is the hope of winning titles and making history at the club. Asked about whether Nico Williams, the Athletic winger who monopolized most of the news’s focus as a possible Barça signing in the end, Deco avoided any controversy. “I’m not talking about players who aren’t from Barça,” he said bluntly.
