FOLLOW THE WORK AT BARÇA
Deco's two goals at Barça before the winter market
Deco has taken over the reins of the sports management of FC Barcelona and there are many tasks ahead, despite the fact that the summer transfer market has just ended
In the FC Barcelona there is not rest and is a reality that have very assumed in the sportive direction. Deco, that is to the control now, lived a straight final of the market of signings estival very moved with a very clear message: this was only the beginning. They come a lot of work so that the Barcelona attain 'face' of positive way the market of wintry signings. They are varied the aims that have posed and pretend to fulfil.
The Brazilian has taken some free days after it finished the window of transfers estival, coinciding with the stop of selections of the FIFA. It will return in brief and has two clear aims in mind: clear the renewal of Xavi Hernández and ensure the signing 'low cost' that will tackle the Barça during the wintry market. The pressure will be maximum and will have to move very fast.
Renew to Xavi, priority for Deco
In what they finish the free days, is foreseen that the sportive director keep a meeting with Xavi and his surroundings to define the keys of his renewal. His current agreement wins the next 30 June 2024 and there are not doubts that he is the indicated to follow to the control of the Barcelona bench to average term, but the extension of his agreement, as it has informed recently, will depend of the Fair Playfinancial .
The intention, in principle, was that the trainer egarense and his staff renewed until the summer of 2026, two years more, but in the last hours has glided from the club that no descartan that firm an agreement only until 2025 to be able to fit it in the mass salarial. It is worth it to remember that, in addition to extending the bond, will have an improvement salarial. It will be the point to argue in the meeting that will keep in the weeks to come.
Deco Will have to look for a 'bargain' in the market
The main aim will be the renewal of Xavi and, once completed, will begin to track the market to find to an economic alternative to reinforce the pivote, as it comes informing in the last days. Although in the club estpan very happy with Oriol Romeu, is the only position that is not bent. They are conscious that, with the arrival of Vitor Roque, will not have a lot of margin in the Fair Play financial to inscribe to a player.
It is thus that are especially attentive to the alternative 'low cost' in the market, being Fabricio Díaz, Thiago Alcántara, Jorginho, Guido Rodríguez or Rabiot the options in the diary of the club. Other names like Palinha or Florentino Luis also appear, but have prices much higher and, therefore, would be operations more complicated.
