🚨🎙Deco: “We like Luis Diaz, we like Rashford and we like other wingers too. We can’t talk about players under contract with other clubs.”
🎙Deco: “Lamine didn’t ask for the highest salary. He prefers happiness to money. Barcelona sees him as the best option. He is very mature for his age (17). His contract renewal is going well.”
🎙Deco: “We are not looking for full-backs, we are not looking for centre-backs, we are not looking for midfielders.”
🎙Deco: “Araujo? We’re happy with Ronald. Ronald is happy, and that’s why there’s no discussion about his future.”
🎙Deco: “We haven’t discussed terms with Frenkie on renewal. He’s happy in Barcelona. And he’s taken a step forward on personal matters. If we can reach an agreement, we will.”
🎙Deco: “Koundé has a 2 year contract. He’s key for us, he always gives you a lot in a game. With Lamine there, you need a full-back who’s very defensive. He does that and never complains, and he gives a lot to the locker room. More than having good players, you have to have a good locker room.”
⁉️For how long is Deco at Barça?
🎙Deco: “I will leave when Laporta leaves. I came to Barça because I wanted to help in rebuilding the club. The only thing that could force me to leave midway are personal issues.”
🎙Deco: “Backup for Lewandowski? In the squad we have players capable of playing there like Ferran, who has had a spectacular season, Olmo, as a false ‘9’, Fermín… This squad has internal solutions when Lewy is not there.”
“Inter has a pure striker like Thuram, PSG doesn’t have one, Arsenal doesn’t have one either… We don’t have to obsess over finding a ‘9’, today we have one and many solutions.”
🎙Deco: “Frenkie de Jong isn’t to be blamed for earning what he earns. We have to stop talking about the past. He had now taken a step up to the level we expect from him.”
“Regarding Frenkie, for me, they haven’t treated him fairly. People don’t understand the contract, but it’s not a topic to discuss because it’s disrespectful to the players.”
🎙Deco: “This week, I will sit down with Flick to decide what to do regarding transfers, I don’t think any player would ask to leave.”
