Barcelona Transfer Strategy: Deco Speaks
Barcelona’s Director of Football, Deco, stated that the club aims to sign two to four players this summer. He emphasized that keeping the club’s core players is the main priority, and new contracts have already been agreed with Gavi, Pedri, Ronald Araujo, and Raphinha.
Speaking to the BBC, Deco explained that the club won’t engage in reckless spending or rush decisions, especially given ongoing financial constraints. Instead, Barcelona will focus on renewals before making any major transfer moves. While the left wing is a priority area, Deco made it clear that Barcelona plans to proceed cautiously in the transfer market.
Fan Reactions:
- Some fans welcomed the cautious approach, recognizing the financial mistakes of previous years (e.g., big-money signings like Coutinho, Dembélé, and Griezmann).
- Others criticized the lack of urgency, arguing that delays could lead to losing top targets to rival clubs.
- A few fans urged Deco to be smart and patient, highlighting the need to stay within La Liga’s 1:1 financial rule.
