During a recent Champions League match in Barcelona, ​​Deco, sports director of FC Barcelona, ​​took advantage of the event to meet the Portuguese Carlos Gonçalves and Antonio Casanova of the Pro Eleven agency. According to Sportthe discussion focused on Gonçalo Oliveira, a young 19 -year -old gaucher central defender evolving in Benfica. Considered one of the most promising talents of the Lisbon club, Oliveira alternates between the first team and the reserve, and arouses the admiration of the coaches for its technical quality and its potential.

José Mourinho himself recently designated it as very important for the future of the club. However, this meeting remains exploratory and no negotiation is underway. Barça, which has no urgent need to strengthen its central defense, intends to continue its usual strategy: observe and analyze young talents before considering recruitment. Deco would favor a thoughtful and patient approach, keeping an eye on Oliveira without rushing for the moment. Case to follow.
