The sporting director of FC Barcelona denies interest in Viktor Gy\u00f6keres despite his great season at Sporting and explains the real plans to reinforce the attack.<\/h2> \r\n

From Portugal, the sporting director of FC Barcelona, Deco<\/strong>, officially ruled out the signing of Viktor Gy\u00f6keres<\/a><\/strong>, Sporting CP’s goalscorer, and explained that he does not prioritize incorporating a new center forward this summer. The statements were made during the international congress \u2018Managers: a new paradigm\u2019<\/strong><\/em>, held in Leix\u00f5es.<\/p>

Deco rules out Gy\u00f6keres as an option to reinforce Bar\u00e7a’s attack<\/h2>

During his participation in the congress \u2018Managers: a new paradigm\u2019 held in the Port of Leix\u00f5es, Deco<\/strong> was categorical in denying that the name of Viktor Gy\u00f6keres<\/strong> is among the priorities of FC Barcelona<\/strong> for the next transfer market<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>

Deco: \u201cGy\u00f6keres is a great striker who has done excellent things at Sporting, but right now we are not looking for that position. We have Lewandowski at number 9\u201d.<\/p> <\/blockquote>

Gy\u00f6keres<\/strong>, a 26-year-old Swedish international, has been one of the great protagonists of the European season with 54 goals and 13 assists in 52 matches<\/strong> between all competitions.<\/p>

His performance has aroused the interest of several Premier League clubs, and in recent weeks he was also linked to the Blaugrana club<\/strong>. However, Deco was clear: Bar\u00e7a is not considering moves to sign a pure ‘9’ this summer.<\/p>

The profile sought: a versatile winger, not a natural goalscorer<\/h2>

The strategy of FC Barcelona<\/strong> to reinforce its offensive plot is to look for an attacker with a versatile profile, mainly a left winger<\/strong> who can act both on the wing and in the position of center forward occasionally.<\/p>

The intention is to give more tactical alternatives to the coach of the cul\u00e9 team, Hansi Flick<\/strong>, and, at the same time, unload minutes from Raphinha and Lewandowski<\/strong>.<\/p>

\u201cIf we are looking for reinforcements in attack, it will not be a classic center forward. We are looking for other characteristics\u201d, explain sources from the club. Among the names that have appeared in the Camp Nou offices are the Colombian Luis D\u00edaz (Liverpool) and the Englishman Marcus Rashford (Manchester United)<\/strong>, two footballers who can offer offensive versatility.<\/p>

Despite being 36 years old \u2014he will turn 37 in August\u2014, Robert Lewandowski has completed his best season as a Blaugrana: 42 goals in 52 matches,<\/strong> being key in attack and showing a remarkable adaptation under Flick’s command. His current performance, despite a muscular injury in the final stretch of the season, continues to guarantee him a starting place for the next season.<\/p>

Deco also spoke about Joao F\u00e9lix and patience in football<\/h2>

Deco<\/a><\/strong> took the opportunity to also comment on Joao F\u00e9lix’s time at FC Barcelona<\/strong>. Although the club did not exercise the purchase option, the sporting director positively valued his attitude: \u201cHe behaved very well with us. We couldn’t sign him and he ended up going to Chelsea and then to Milan\u201d.<\/p>

In a more reflective tone, Deco highlighted the importance of resilience in a footballer’s career: \u201cSometimes players have to be patient, because football is not just about good times. It seems that one gives up easily in bad times. Football is hard, sometimes unfair\u201d, he concluded.<\/p>
