The FC Barcelona transfer window is far from over. Following the departures of Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres, Deco confirmed that the Catalan club were still working on new arrivals before the market closes. If the sporting director believes that the recruits already registered can compensate for Ferran’s departure, the situation is different regarding the Polish striker. “ For Ferran, I think we can find solutions with the recruits we have made. For Robert, it’s much more difficult, it’s very complicated to replace a player like him », he explained after the Joan Gamper Trophy won (2-1) against Al-Ahly on the microphone of Sport. Without revealing the identity of the targeted players, Deco mainly confirmed: “ There’s a lot of noise, but we’re going to make a move. »
The priority could therefore be at the number 9 position. Asked about the possible arrival of a new striker, Deco recognized that Barça had “ internal solutions ”, while adding that “ you have to search “. The manager also returned to the recruitment of Rodri, which was initially not planned: “ At first it wasn’t part of our plans, but we saw that it was an opportunity. He will improve the team a lot. » Deco also refused to present this operation as a blow to Real Madrid: “ we didn’t take it in Madrid. » One thing is now clear: Barcelona still intends to move by the end of the transfer window, with the succession of Lewandowski at the center of concerns.
